Extract

Improved animal production and productivity enhancement in Asia are justified in direct response to the need for more animal proteins. This need is associated with rising incomes, which encourage people to diversify their diets to include a variety of meats, eggs and dairy products, including the substitution of calories in livestock for low-priced starch calories. The projected total meat and milk human consumption levels in 2020 are far in excess of anticipated supplies (Degaldo et al., 1999). The rapid growth in the consumption of foods of animal origin is especially spectacular in East and South East Asia where the demand growth has placed unprecedented pressure on the management of the natural resources (crops, animals, land and water).
