  Report of a workshop held at ICRISAT Centre, Andhra Pradesh, India, 5-7 May 1993

Proceedings of an international symposium held in association with the 7th AAAP Animal Science Congress, Bali. Indonesia. 11-16 July 1994. This paper reviews the animal production potential of agroforestry systems. Factors influencing animal productivity include the forage contribution from tree and non-tree sources, competition between tree and understorey, compatibility between tree crop and animals, and the service role of the tree in ameliorating the microclimate of the animal.

  Proceedings of ACIAR/SACCAR workshop held at Harare, Zimbabwe 30 August I September 1993. This volume records the proceedings of a workshop held to consider the problems of dry land agriculture. The workshop was organised jointly by AClAR and the Southern African Centre for Cooperation in Agricultural Research and Training (SACCAR)

These proceedings arose from a workshop held in conjunction with the final review of the ACIAR coconut improvement project

Australia and Thailand have collaborated for six years to study foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), a disease which is endemic in Asia

ACIAR has supported collaborative forestry research between China and Australia since 1985

These proceedings arose from a workshop associated with an ACIAR project on the development of postharvest handling technology for selected tropical tree fruits

  These proceedings present the contributions made at the International Conference on Postharvest Handling of Tropical Fruits held in Chiang Mai, Thailand in July 1993. Issues for consideration included the review of key technical information on postharvest handling of tropical fruits, defining problems with successful handling, transportation and marketing of tropical fruits both for export and domestic markets.

These proceedings are the culmination of a workshop held in Fiji in August 1993, and provide a background to the tuna baitfish industry as well as canvassing management issues, baitfish biology and the current status of baitfishing in the Solomon Islands

This report by a consultant, Dr My-Yen Lam, identifies where development assistance agencies such as ACIAR might best provide help to the postharvest subsector in Vietnam. It also gives wider information on food research, production, and handling that may be of value to food and agribusiness companies seeking to establish commercial partnerships with Vietnamese counterparts.

The Chinese Government has placed a high priority on the development of the nation's raw wool industry

  Proceedings of An international workshop sponsored by ACIAR held at Bali, Indonesia, 10-13 August 1992. A general review is made of specific diseases of economic importance in production animals, dealing in depth with those diseases and aspects of them not covered by other plenary speakers. The diseases reviewed are haemorrhagic septicaemia, bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, pasteurellosis of sheep and goats, and, briefly, atrophic rhinitis.

Bacterial wilt is primarily of importance in the tropics and subtropics

OUT OF PRINT The pole-and-line fishery (a low-cost high-employment technique of tuna fishing(requires live baitfish to lure the tuna close to the boat

OUT OF STOCK Joint research into bovine ephemeral fever involving China and Australia was instigated in response to a massive epidemic in 1983

The economic structure of draught animal power in Asia varies from country to country according to national policy, social patterns and agricultural practices
