Extension of Livestock Production Messages: Guidelines for Policy and Implementation in Developing Countries

The importance of conveying information on livestock production to farmers is increasing with growing demand for livestock products, new production techniques and possibilities for improved animal health. This clearly set-out book is based on first-hand research in developing countries, and examines the major types of institutions providing livestock production extension, for example, national extension systems, animal health services and special projects. Concrete recommendations are made for the planning of new services for crop livestock producers and for special target groups, and for the reform of existing institutions.
