Title : Production systems, animal genetic resources, and livestock research in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Wilson R Trevor, Author Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 92-98 p. Keywords: Animal products; Research; Fisheries; Pastures; Livestock Abstract: The major characteristics of Nepali small farm production systems with particular reference tolivestock and their feed supply are described Nepal's animal genetic resources are extremelydiverse (at least 17 species) and have multiple production functions. They have not yet beencharacterised but are widely believed to be unproductive and of inferior genetic merit. Thesebeliefs are not founded on comparative research or on the several production objectives(including adaptability to the local environment) for which animals are kept. Research in the pasthas been along classic lines, carried out on station and not always related to the real problems of small farmers. Future research areas should be identified in collaboration with farmers and theextension services, should be mainly applied and adaptive in nature and should be carried out incollaboration with farmers on their farms (On Farm Technology Testing) as well as on researchstations.
