Production and Animal Health

This website has been developed to provide information and outcomes relating to this project for researchers, students, agricultural agencies, NGO's, and other collaborators and stakeholders involved in Cambodia's developing agriculture and livestock industries. Village producers own the majority of large ruminant livestock in Cambodia. There is an opportunity to increase cattle production and address rural poverty. However, common diseases such as Hemorrhagic Septicemia, Foot-and -mouth disease, blackleg and parasites plus poor nutrition limit production income, breeding and general husbandry and livestock management practices. This project aims to improve profitability of large ruminant production by smallholders. Working at six project sites consisting of three sets of "matched" villages; the project team has an opportunity to compare the effects of introducing a "best practice" health and production package. A large number of training workshops, as well multiple secondary research projects have been conducted. This website aims to provide a source of information and outcomes delivered by this project, as well as link to other collaborating projects and information applicable to the primary objectives.
