At the request and with the support of the Japasese Government, FAO has compiled experiences of livestock keeping from different parts of the world, categorized by production systems, to make it easier for interested people to select ideas for their own conditions. This document presents a sample of technologies for livestock keeping in rural mixed crop-livestock farming systems, with emphasis on describing the livestock production systems in the traditional sector and identifying constraints. Suggestions for improving production in the livestock sector are given throughout the publication and a literature list is included for further reference.

Livestock Play An Important Role In Human Society. Demand For Meat And Milk Is Soaring, And The World S Livestock Sector Is Growing At An Unprecedented Rate. The Greatest Constraint To Livestock Productivity Is The Shortage Of Feeds And Forages. Some Countries Import Cereal Grains In An Effort To Increase Livestock Production Meet The Ever-Increasing Demand For Animal Products. Higher Livestock Productivity, However, Should Be Sought Through Better Use Of Locally Available Feed Resources. Crop Residues, Agro-Industrial By-Products And Animal Wastes, Which Are Available In Appreciable Quantities, Can Play A Significant Role In The Nutrition Of Ruminants. The Purpose Of This Book Is To Assist Researchers In Developing Countries, To Develop Livestock Feeding Systems Based On The Available Resources Which Are Mainly Crop Residues, Dry And/Or Mature Pasutres And Agro-Industrial By-Products. It Will Be Of Great Interest To Research Scientists, Extension Workers, Students, Farmers And Agricultural Managers. Contents Chapter 1: Potentials Of Crop Residues As Animal Feed; Chapter 2: Crop Residues And Agro-Industrial By-Products; Chapter 3: Nutritive Value Of Crop Residues; Chapter 4: Upgradation Of Crop Residues; Chapter 5: Ensiling Crop Residues; Chapter 6: Ammoniation Of Crop Residues; Chapter 7: Utilisation Of Crop Residues Agro-Industrial By-Products; Chapter 8: Safe Use Of Plant And Animal By-Products; Chapter 9: Crop Residues As Feed Resources In Crop/Livestock Farming Systems; Chapter 10: Crop Residues And Agro-Industrial By-Products In Developing Countries; Chapter 11: Organic Crop Production.
