Livestock provides incomes and nutrition for millions of smallholders, yet unsustainable practices degrade pastures and spread disease. This course teaches farmers and extension officers improved, sustainable animal husbandry practices.
Livestock farming is often the most valuable enterprise for smallholders, but traditional practices that worked at smaller scale now degrade natural resources and spread disease. This course teaches farmers and extension officers sustainable animal husbandry practices that increase productivity, improve herd health, and protect pasture resources for future generations.
Participants learn feed management, breeding, animal health, and grazing practices proven to increase income while maintaining resource sustainability.
