Research and Development for Better Livestock Productivity

Knowing the levels of production and prices of livestock found in the main production systems is essential when taking decisions about the importance that should be given to nutrition, health, breeding and management. This case study on livestock undertaken by the “Applied Thematic Research into Water Management, Livestock and the Opium Economy” project presents information that could contribute to the ongoing debate preceding any revision of the current Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) Master Plan and Strategy.
