Descripción
The livestock sector is one of the fastest-growing subsectors in agriculture. Its development has greatly contributed to economic growth and poverty reduction in Southeast Asia. At the same time, the unprecedented increase in emerging and re-emerging animal diseases has had a profound impact on animal productivity and production in the region and on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. This publication reports on the outcome of a conference on the environmental animal health management initi ative (EAHMI) for enhanced smallholder production in Southeast Asia convened in Makati City, Philippines from 18 to 19 September 2014. The conference included a plenary session, five technical sessions and a poster gallery exhibit to showcase best practices and lessons learned in use of environmental animal health management strategies in the region and the way forward.
