Cattle numbers have increased more than twofold, and those of small ruminants by more than threefold. Today, the region accounts for about 20% of the cattle and sheep, 33% of the goats and 81% of the dromedaries raised on the planet. That is to say a livestock population of nearly 900 million head. The book focuses on the dynamics of ruminant and equine livestock in intertropical Africa. It describes the different livestock systems found in arid and sub-humid zones and the available food resources; it discusses the local and global impacts of herbivore farming on the environment. The major socio-economic role of activities around animals and their products, and the growing consumer demand for meat and milk are highlighted. An efficient organization of the livestock-meat chains is reported, while constraints to the establishment of a dairy industry persist. For many families living close to the poverty line, livestock production is a factor in reducing vulnerability. Various services that would enable sustainable development of livestock are described. However, financing methods and monitoring of socio-economic and environmental impacts will have to evolve. The book provides information, key points of understanding and methods for students, development agents and decision-makers faced with the issues of development of these herbivore farms in tropical areas, particularly in Africa, Asia and Brazil.From 1974 to 2014, intertropical Africa has experienced an unprecedented growth in domestic herbivore numbers.

Les effectifs bovins ont e?te? multiplie?s par plus de 2, ceux des petits ruminants par plus de 3. Aujourd'hui, la re?gion regroupe environ 20 % des bovins et des ovins, 33 % des caprins et 81 % des dromadaires e?leve?s sur la plane?te. Soit un cheptel de pre?s de 900 millions de te?tes. L'ouvrage est axe? sur la dynamique des e?levages des ruminants et des e?quide?s en Afrique intertropicale. Il de?crit les diffe?rents syste?mes d'e?levage rencontre?s en zones aride et subhumide et les ressources alimentaires disponibles ; il aborde les impacts locaux et globaux des e?levages des herbivores sur l'environnement. Le ro?le socio-e?conomique majeur des activite?s autour des animaux et de leurs produits, et la demande croissante en viande et lait des consommateurs sont souligne?s. Une organisation efficace des filie?res be?tail-viande est rapporte?e, alors que des contraintes a? la mise en place d'une industrie laitie?re persistent. Pour de nombreuses familles vivant proches du seuil de pauvrete?, l'e?levage est un facteur de re?duction de la vulne?rabilite?. Divers services qui permettraient un de?veloppement durable des e?levages sont de?crits. Cependant, les modes de financements et les suivis des impacts socio-e?conomiques et environnementaux devront e?voluer. L'ouvrage apporte informations, points-cle?s de compre?hension et de me?thodes pour les e?tudiants, les agents de de?veloppement et les de?cideurs confronte?s aux questions de de?veloppement de ces e?levages d'herbivores dans les zones tropicales, notamment en Afrique, en Asie et au Bre?sil. 606 $aDairy products 615 0$aDairy products. 676 $a613.2687 700 $aAlary$b Ve?ronique$01308204 702 $aDuteurtre$b Guillaume 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688409503321 996 $aDynamique des e?levages pastoraux et agropastoraux en afrique intertropicale$93394345 997 $aUNINA
