Gender, livestock rearing, rangeland use, and climate change adaptation in Tunisia
Women’s contributions to rangeland cultivation and management in Tunisia, and the effects of climate change upon women’s livelihoods, are both policy blind spots. Despite women’s growing participation in rangeland management, ...
Livestock Innovations, Social Norms, and Women’s Empowerment in the Global South
Livestock have strong empowerment potential, particularly for women. They offer millions
of women in the Global South the opportunity to provide protein-rich foods for home consumption
and sale. Livestock provide women ...
Technical and institutional certification of breeding rams in Ethiopia
This report is a preliminary attempt to describe the technical and institutional requirements for certification of improved rams selected in the framework of the community-based breeding programs in Ethiopia.
Rangeland Monitoring & Assessment Training Workshop
The aim of the training course is building capacity of the Engineers and technical staff involved in rangeland management and development from Office of Livestock and Pastures (OEP), Commissariat Régional au Développement ...
Population genetic analysis of Ixodes tick species and Toxoplasma gondii in Tunisia and their relationships to global populations
There are differences in the activity dynamics of I ricinus populations found in North African countries which are probably due to differences in microclimate (temperature, humidity and rainfall) and hosts’ availability ...
Gender and Climate Change Adaptation in Livestock Production in Tunisia
Women's contribution to rangeland management in Tunisia and climate change implications on their livelihoods in rangeland areas are a policy blind spot. Current perceptions in rangeland policy circles is based on a widely ...
Phenotypic characterization of Tunisian sheep breeds for resistance to abomasal parasites
The aim of this work is to study the genetic resistance of the Barbarine sheep to GIN infestation. This is a preliminary paper about the phenotypic measurements that were collected and compiled in a single phenotype database. ...
Barley Straw Use for Animal Feed and Soil Mulch in Ethiopian Highlands Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems
Barley straw serves as livestock feed and mulch for soil and water conservation in the mixed barley-livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands. High demand for barley straw biomass in the system creates competition between ...
