Overview
This project aims to improve the livelihood of farmers in the Central Dry Zone of Myanmar who keep goats and sheep, by increasing the productivity and profitability of their herds and flocks.
The Central Dry Zone is home to 14.5 million people and is vital to the nation’s production of livestock and dryland crops. Most rural people in the area are smallholder and landless farmers who largely depend on agriculture, cropping and/or livestock, for their livelihoods.
The project sought to improve smallholders’ understanding of key performance drivers of small ruminant production and their ability to control them, through participatory evaluation of specific animal nutrition, production and health interventions on smallholder farms, plus new production systems, and demonstrating and extending these interventions to smallholders.
