This document summarizes a community-based sheep breeding project in Menz, Ethiopia. The project aims to improve the local sheep breeds through within-breed selection. Baseline data was collected from over 1,500 sheep across 125 households. Top performing rams were selected based on traits like weight and survivability. Farmers were trained and are now involved in data collection, selection, and care of communal ram groups. While progress has been made, continued support is still needed in areas like farmers' groups, animal health and feeding, and market access.

This document provides information about beef production and cuts. It discusses the lifecycle of cows and calves on cow-calf farms. It then explains the different stages cattle go through like stockers, backgrounders, and feedlots. It details the eight primal cuts of beef and many retail cuts. It also defines and compares terms like natural, grass-fed, organic. The key message is for consumers to talk to local farmers to understand their practices and find meat that aligns with their priorities like humane treatment, access to outdoors, and healthy feed.

Goat Farming as a Resilient Food System

Caitlin Pace

This document discusses the benefits of establishing community goat farms as an alternative to large-scale cattle farming. It argues that goat farming is more resilient in the face of threats like drought and disease outbreaks. The document proposes a multi-step process for Albuquerque to implement community goat farms, including identifying suitable land areas through city planning, adjusting zoning codes to allow for small livestock, educating residents on goat raising, and promoting goat products and community farms.

Producing quaility beef

PSU-Beef

This document discusses factors that affect beef quality and consumer preferences. It addresses grass-fed versus grain-fed beef production, the effects of forage versus grain diets on methane emissions and beef quality, and strategies for finishing cattle on pasture to meet quality standards. The summary is: 1) The document discusses beef production methods and their effects on quality attributes and greenhouse gas emissions. 2) Finishing cattle entirely on forage presents challenges in meeting quality grade standards for tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. 3) Strategies for grass-fed beef production focus on achieving adequate growth rates, external fat levels, and maturity to optimize palatability.

ILRI’s Livestock Genetics Program—LiveGene

ILRI

ILRI's mission is to improve food security and reduce poverty through sustainable livestock research. ILRI's Livestock Genetics Program works to deliver improved genetics to small-scale livestock keepers. The program's objectives include determining optimal genetic improvement strategies, designing breeding programs, discovering genes for productivity and resilience, and supporting policies enabling access to genetic resources. A project highlight was a study in Senegal analyzing the trade-offs of different dairy systems considering factors like productivity, profitability, environmental sustainability, food quality and safety, and gender impacts. The study found cross-bred dairy cattle under good management was a productive, profitable system but issues like safe animal feed supply and potential negative gender impacts need addressing.

ProDairy E.A. Ltd

The document summarizes constraints facing the forage sub-sector in East Africa and provides recommendations. Common constraints include low forage quality, lack of seeds and planting materials, and seasonality issues. Forage quality is often low due to high fiber content and low protein levels. Seed availability is limited by few varieties and poor distribution systems. Seasonality is a challenge due to rain dependence and lack of preservation methods. Recommendations include improving forage quality through better species, fertilization, and cutting stages. Increased availability and accessibility of high-quality seeds is also recommended along with rainwater harvesting and forage preservation. Overall recommendations emphasize developing a full package of knowledge and skills for farmers from seed to feed to milk production.

Technology Profile - Breeding TIMPs for Small RuminantsPodisi (CCARDESA) 2017

Hillary Hanson

This document summarizes information on improved breeding practices for small ruminants like sheep and goats in Namibia. It discusses how selection of superior animals through genetic testing and selective breeding can improve important traits like growth rate and fertility. While techniques like artificial insemination are used in some areas, traditional selective breeding is more common due to lower costs. The benefits of scaling up improved breeding include increased productivity, meat quality, and hardiness of goats and sheep, which would improve incomes and food security, especially for smallholder farmers in northern Namibia.

Dairy Production System in Lowland Areas of Gambella, Ethiopia

AI Publications

The objective of this study was to identify and assessing the different types of dairy cattle production systems, management practices, marketing and its constraints that exist in the Itang district. A total of 120 households were selected from four kebeles using simple random selection method after identifying the dairy owner from the community using purposive sampling method. Descriptive statistics, one way ANOVA, chi-square and ranking were analysed using SPSS statistical package. The majority of producers (63.3%) in the pastoral system produced milk for home consumption, while the majority of mixed crop–livestock producers (40.0%) produced milk for selling purpose. In the mixed crop–livestock system, mostly cereal crop based grazing is the major feed resource but these feed resources were managed in a traditional ways. Almost all respondents in the mixed crop-livestock system (96.5%) and pastoral system (100%) did not supplement their lactating cow with additional feeds. More than 400 cattle herds from 2-3 villages graze together between 10 am to 4 pm daily. The majority of households (68.3%) in the mixed crop–livestock system kept their cattle separately in barn, while other 8.3% of the households did the same in pastoral areas. Constraints for dairy development in the area are diseased condition, thieves, lack of veterinary services, lack of credit, feed and feeding and poor extension services. It can be concluded dairy cattle production in the mixed crop-livestock system was economical and based on mixed agriculture (crops plus livestock) with some fishing activity, mining and wild food collection.

The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.
