This document discusses opportunities for public-private investment in animal health in developing countries. It finds that demand for livestock products is growing significantly in developing countries, where smallholder producers will continue to supply the majority of production. Animal health constraints remain a major problem, but as smallholder systems commercialize, their need and demand for animal health inputs will increase. There are opportunities for synergistic public-private investments in animal health that can benefit both smallholder producers and the private sector.

The document discusses trends and trajectories in global animal agriculture between now and 2050. Three key points:
1) Demand and production of livestock products are rapidly increasing in developing countries, especially in places like China, India, and Africa. This is driven by population growth, rising incomes, and urbanization.
2) Smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems will experience some of the greatest changes and opportunities. These diverse systems in places like Africa and South Asia offer opportunities to close yield gaps and reduce disease and emissions.
3) Plausible future scenarios depend on uncertain variables like climate change, technology, and disease outbreaks. This could lead to scenarios like sustainable intensification or climate-related crises
- Global consumption and production of livestock products is projected to increase significantly by 2050, especially in Africa and the Middle East. Meat consumption is expected to increase 37% globally while milk consumption increases 61%.
- Livestock production systems in Africa are transitioning rapidly to more industrialized systems for monogastrics like pork and poultry, though over 30% will still be small-holder in 2050. Ruminant production will continue to rely on mixed crop-livestock systems.
- Animal diseases pose major constraints to Africa's livestock sector, resulting in high mortality rates and economic losses. As production intensifies, diseases may also increase unless addressed by improved vaccines, diagnostics, and delivery systems.

Wherefore livestock? Does animal agriculture have a role in future food systems?ILRI
The document discusses the role of animal agriculture in future global food systems. It notes that demand for animal source foods is rising rapidly and livestock production has high economic value but also environmental and health impacts. However, unpacking the data reveals opportunities for livestock to contribute to sustainable economic growth, livelihoods, nutrition, and ecosystems, especially through smallholder systems. Improving productivity and feeding practices of smallholder livestock could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting rising demand for animal proteins.

The document summarizes the changing landscape of livestock production in developing countries. It notes that demand for animal source foods is rapidly increasing in developing countries. Smallholder farms currently dominate livestock production in many developing nation contexts. There are opportunities for agricultural research, including animal genetics, to help enable a sustainable transition and meet rising demand through improving smallholder systems rather than large-scale industrialization. Achieving food security while addressing environmental and health challenges will require productivity gains from improved animal health, genetics, and feeding practices.

Livestock in Ethiopia: Tailwinds and Headwinds to 2050ILRI
This document summarizes a presentation on trends and projections for Ethiopia's livestock sector between 2010 and 2050. It finds that while growing demand for livestock products creates opportunities for producers, climate change and other challenges threaten supply. Quantitative models project that under a "business as usual" scenario, meat and milk supply will exceed demand by 2030 but climate impacts introduce uncertainty. Timely actions are needed to improve productivity, develop markets, and manage resources to ensure the sector's resilience and growth.
The role of informal food markets—Towards professionalizing, not criminalizingILRI
The document summarizes a training, certification, and branding scheme piloted in Kenya to professionalize informal food markets and improve food safety. The scheme provided hygiene training and certification to informal milk traders, giving them branded containers and uniforms. Over 15% of traders registered by 2009, changing hygienic practices. The scheme had economic and policy impacts, though follow-up is still needed. A theory of change explains how such interventions could improve diets and food safety through safer animal products sold by certified informal traders.
Jimmy Smith, Director General of ILRI, outlines the importance of livestock to developing economies and proposes ways to double livestock production through better feeds. Livestock represents five of the six most valuable global commodities and production is increasing faster in developing countries. Livestock plays a key role in livelihoods, nutrition, health and ecosystems. The CGIAR could harness new science on feeds, genetics, and management to boost productivity and sustainability, improving food security and reducing poverty and emissions.

This document summarizes a study on small ruminant producers' knowledge of livestock grading and market participation in northern Somalia. The study found that producers were generally aware of the indigenous grading system used in livestock markets, but knowledge of the system did not significantly influence their market participation. While women played a strong role in small ruminant rearing, factors like herd size, location, and who makes sales decisions had a greater impact on the intensity of producers' market engagement. The results indicate opportunities to strengthen small ruminant production and marketing through interventions aimed at protecting producers' animal stocks.

- Fast-rising demand for milk, meat, and eggs in Africa is driving changes in the continent's livestock sector. This growing demand will need to be met through increased production.
- There are three potential scenarios for meeting this demand: importing livestock products, importing industrial livestock production methods, or transforming smallholder livestock systems.
- Enabling technologies, policies, markets and institutions are needed to ensure Africa's livestock systems transition supports broad growth and environmental/human health.
The document discusses opportunities for Tanzania's livestock sector and how increased investment can help realize its potential. Key points:
- Global demand for animal proteins is growing rapidly, especially in developing countries, creating opportunities for Tanzania.
- An analysis found that increased investment in dairy, red meat, and poultry could significantly increase supply and profits in those industries by 2031.
- Tanzania has large livestock populations but they are underutilized and productivity is low due to lack of investment. Increased processing capacity, genetic improvement programs, and policies are needed to transform the sector.
- Partnerships between the government, ILRI, and others are working on initiatives to develop value chains and improve productivity,
Livestock headwinds:Help or hindrance to sustainable development?ILRI
Livestock production is growing rapidly globally to meet rising demand for meat, milk and eggs in lower income countries. Livestock contributes to all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals through pathways of food/nutrition, livelihoods/economics, health and climate/resources. Livestock research can help maximize these contributions by improving productivity, efficiency and development outcomes in a sustainable manner.
Transforming the global food systems: Challenges and opportunitiesILRI
This document summarizes a presentation given by Jimmy Smith, Director General of the International Livestock Research Institute, on challenges and opportunities in transforming global food systems. It discusses four key areas: food and nutrition security, livelihoods and economic growth, human health, and environmental health. For each area, it outlines challenges such as malnutrition, lack of access to nutritious animal-source foods, threats from zoonotic diseases, and greenhouse gas emissions from livestock. It also proposes opportunities through livestock research, such as increasing productivity to boost food and income, improving food safety, controlling diseases at the animal source to prevent pandemics, and making livestock production more environmentally sustainable.
ILRI is a member of the CGIAR consortium that works to improve food security and reduce poverty through research on the efficient, safe, and sustainable use of livestock. ILRI has over 700 staff members working across its main campuses in Nairobi, Kenya and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as well as 16 other country offices. The organization's research focuses on developing science-based practices to achieve better lives through livestock while addressing challenges related to food production, economic development, health, and environmental sustainability.
Livestock play an important role in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals through supporting inclusive economic growth, equitable livelihoods, nutrition and health, and sustainable ecosystems. However, livestock are conspicuously absent from the SDG indicators. Failing to consider the livestock sector could significantly impact efforts to attain the SDGs, as livestock are central to developing economies and the lives of many poor families. Transforming smallholder livestock systems in a sustainable way is key to meeting the growing demand for animal proteins in developing countries.

The document discusses trends in the global livestock sector and the role of smallholder producers in developing countries. It makes three key points:
1) Demand for animal-source foods will continue rising significantly in developing countries, where most production already occurs among smallholder farmers who both produce and consume locally.
2) Smallholder livestock systems present opportunities to address technical constraints around health, feed, genetics, and markets to boost production in a sustainable way that benefits livelihoods.
3) Coordinated efforts to improve smallholder and commercial systems can expand the supply of animal-source foods while transforming rural development.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

13. Smallholder livestock keepers
are competitive
1. East African dairy
In Kenya, 1 million smallholders keep the largest dairy herd in Africa
(larger than South Africa)
The lowest-cost milk producers globally are found in Uganda
Small-scale Kenyan dairy producers get above-normal profits of 19-28%
in addition to non-market benefits (finance, insurance, manure,
traction) of a further 16-21% (source: SDP-ILRI, 2005)
Small- and large-scale poultry and dairy producers in Kenya have the
same levels of efficiency and profits (source: Omiti et al., 2004)
14. 2. Vietnam pig industry
95% of production is by producers
with fewer than 100 animals
Pig producers with 1-2 sows have
lower unit costs than those with more
than 4 sows (ILRI 2010)
Models show industrial pig production
could grow to meet no more than 12%
of national supply in the next 10 years
Smallholders will continue to provide
most of the country’s pork for years to
come
Smallholder livestock keepers
are competitive (cont.)
15. Key points related to
smallholder competitiveness
Smallholders will continue to supply most of the
livestock products in most developing countries
There will be different trajectories of livestock growth,
with strongest dynamics in Asia
In many regions,
smallholders will increasingly
commercialize their
operations
Demand for
animal health
inputs will increase
16
16. Increasing opportunities for
animal health inputs
17
As smallholder producers in the developing world
continue to commercialize, they increasingly pay
to reduce their animal disease burdens.
17. Potential private-public synergies
Joint public-private testing of innovations:
– Innovative franchise models are providing smallholders with
access to agro-vets (‘Sidai’ in Kenya)
– New low-cost, pen-side diagnostic tools are providing
diagnostics for smallholder settings
– New mobile phone systems are helping farmers monitor
the health and reproduction of their animals (‘iCow’ in Kenya)
Enlightened self interest for poor and rich alike:
Research on some disease of the South (e.g., African swine fever) can reduce
threats of those diseases moving to the North
due to climate change and increased trade
18. Challenges for private-public partnerships
Different animal health models and trading systems:
− Need to understand demand for inputs and then test product
applications
− Need innovative, low-cost products that meet smallholder
needs
− Need new delivery systems that match smallholder settings
and infrastructure
--Risk based rather than hazard based food safety regulations
--Commodity based trade
19. Key messages
Demand for livestock source foods is growing faster in
the in the developing than the developed world
Smallholder producers are now and will continue to be a
large part of the supply response for decades to come
Animal health constraints are binding in developing
countries
As smallholder systems modernize, their need for
animal health and other inputs will grow
New opportunities exist for synergies between private
and public investments in animal health
