Livestock Production in Central Mali
Author: R. T. WilsonPublisher: ILRI (aka ILCA and ILRAD)
ISBN: 9789290530817
Category : Cattle
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
ILCA has been conducting a long-term study on livestock production in central Mali since the beginning of 1976. This report presents results based on data collected over a 6-year period from 1978 to mid-1984. In part I the livestock production systems in the zone, management practices and herd and flock demography are described. Cattle and small ruminant productivity is discussed in detail in parts II and III and recommendations based on the results of the studies are given in part IV.

The Economics Of Livestock Systems In Developing Countries
Author: James R SimpsonPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 100031622X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Improvement of the world's livestock industry necessitates input from many directions. Planning by a host of national and international agencies is required in order to provide optimal stimulus in very diverse areas ranging from formulation of laws and incentives that stimulate competition yet prevent undue competition, to the optimal provision of credit. Planning is needed to carry out a complex array of interrelated research. The purpose of this book is specifically tasked with setting forth frameworks and methods for evaluation of investments and associated economic decision-making in the livestock industries of developing countries. Economists will find this book useful because it synthesizes .much material into a cohesive whole--material that is often presented in a cursory manner or overlooked as emphasis has shifted to sophisticated quantitative techniques.

Simulation Of Beef Cattle Production Systems And Its Use In Economic Analysis
Author: Thomas H SpreenPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000239616
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Economic analysis of beef cattle production has been limited by the inability to fully describe the underlying production process. Except for confined feeding of cattle, beef cattle production is the process of growing cattle who consume forages. The animal and the forage possess attributes of both factors and products of production. The production of forage constitutes one production process, animal growth is another production process, and reproduction by female animals is a third production process. Cattle production involves all three processes in such a manner that each influences the outcome of the other. Each process is itself complex and analysis is further complicated when all three are considered simultaneously.
