Challenges to generate adaptable technologies and to build up strategic alliances for small ruminants research in low input systems: case of Tunisia
. In Tunisia and in most countries of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region, research in small ruminants is historically well embedded in the national agricultural research system. It faces challenges of generating ...
Grassland/rangelands based livestock production systems: Options and trade-offs between productivity and GHG emissions reductions
The global warming is expected to further contribute to the process of rangeland degradation as a result of mis-management and may have significant adverse impacts on range species under high CO2 emissions scenarios. Already ...
Efficiency of Crop–Livestock Production Systems Under Conservation Agriculture: Scope for sustainable system transformation to Achieving Food Security in Rain-Fed Drylands of Tunisia
The objective of this study is to evaluate the technical efficiency of farmers engaged in mixed crop–livestock systems under conservation agriculture (CLCA) in Tunisian rainfed areas who are using Resource-Conserving ...
First molecular detection and phylogenetic analyses of Neospora caninum from naturally infected sheep in North Africa
Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite from the phylum Apicomplexa. This parasite is as
one of the major causative abortive agents in the dairy cattle industry. Moreover, abortions in
sheep due to N. caninum have been ...
Coping Strategies and Perceived Effects in Response to Climate Shock Exposure: Household resiliency toward food insecurity related to drought in central Tunisian rural communities
Climate change exacerbated droughts by making them more frequent that increased risks of food insecurity faced by rural families in arid areas. Adopting coping mechanisms are necessary to reduce the vulnerability of rural ...
Locally Adapted Machinery Solutions For Sustainable Intensification Of Crop-livestock Systems In Tunisia
Small crop-livestock systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as North African
ones are characterized by low mechanization levels, thus undermining their productivity and
sustainability. Machinery being ...
