The Impact of Research at the International Livestock Research Institute by John McIntire PDF Summary

Book Description: Providing the first evidenced-based global estimates of the many socio-economic, policy, research and capacity development impacts of livestock research, this volume is an indispensable guide and reference for veterinarians, animal and forage scientists, and anyone working for the equitable and sustainable development of the world's poorer agricultural economies. Livestock is one the fastest growing agricultural sectors, with most growth occurring in developing countries. For over 4 and a half decades one global centre has been mandated to conduct research on leveraging the benefits and mitigating the costs of livestock production in poor countries. This book focuses on the achievements and challenges of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and its predecessors; the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) and the International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases (ILRAD). The scientific and economic impacts of tropical livestock research detailed in this work reveal valuable lessons for reducing world hunger, poverty and environmental degradation. Describing mixed crop and livestock systems' impact on the global environment, the book also covers animal genetics, production, health and disease control, land management, public policy, and economics, all with useful pointers for future research.
