Asia; South East Asia

Abstract: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a vector-borne disease of cattle and Asian water buffalo that is included on the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) list of notifiable diseases. In July 2019 LSD was introduced to Bangladesh, China and India and then spread to Nepal and Bhutan and in 2020 to various provinces of China and India. A qualitative risk assessment was conducted to assess the likelihood of introduction and/or spread of LSD in 23 countries in South, East and Southeast Asia based on information available up to 31 October 2020. The economic impact of LSD for South, East and Southeast countries was estimated to be up to USD 1.45 billion in direct losses of livestock and production. These losses may be higher, due to the severe trade implications for infected countries. This document provides an overview of LSD control approaches, including prevention. The cost-effectiveness estimation demonstrates a strong economic justification for vaccination and advocates for a regional approach to harmonize control measures.

Environmental performance of feed additives in livestock supply chains. Guidelines for assessment

Type of publication: Book Author: FAO Publisher: FAO Year of publications: 2020 Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 162 p. ISBN: 978-92-5-132941-2 doi: https://doi.org/10.4060/ca9744en

Agrovoc: livestock production; animal feeding; feed production; feed additives; feed supply chain; animal performance; impact assessment; methodology; guidelines

Abstract: The production and the use of feed additives influence the environmental impact of livestock production. The use of feed additives significantly acts on feed efficiency, and thus animal and environmental performance. The methodology developed in these guidelines aims to introduce a harmonized international approach to the assessment of the environmental performance of feed additives in livestock supply chains taking into consideration the impact of their production and use all along the supply chain for large ruminants, pigs and poultry. The objective of this technical document is twofold: on the one hand, to provide detailed guidance on how to measure the environmental performance of the production of feed additives, and on the other hand, how to measure the effects of feed additives on the environmental performance of livestock products.

ISBN: 978-92-5-132117-1 doi: https://doi.org/10.4060/ca7510en

Agrovoc: livestock; greenhouse gas emissions; surveys; data collection; data analysis

Abstract: The Livestock Activity Data Guidance (L-ADG) provides practical methods for countries to estimate the activity data used to compile livestock GHG inventories using the IPCC Tier 2 approach. The purpose is to support countries to improve the accuracy of the livestock emission estimates in national GHG inventories, and thus enable countries to measure and report progress towards their NDCs.
