Animal Science for Sustainable Productivity – ASSP
-
ILRI’s research program on Animal Science for Sustainable Productivity (ASSP) is a global program working to increase the productivity of livestock systems in developing countries through high-quality animal science (breeding, nutrition and animal health) and livestock systems research. It focuses on increasing the supply and quality of animal feed from forage and crop residues, developing animal breeding strategies that are suitable for small scale farmers and identification and control of diseases that impair animal health. It also tests how new approaches to increasing animal productivity can be implemented in different livestock and farming systems.
The Program brings together teams working on animal feeding, animal breeding, animal health and livestock systems. This integration seeks a unified approach to bring applied animal sciences to bear on the challenge of sustainably increasing livestock productivity.
Here you will find a presentation from the program leader Moyo Siboniso, and two scientific presentations by Peter Thorne and Alan Duncan.
