Chers collègues

La série de 13 vidéos pédagogiques préparées par la FAO sur la production de l'aviculture familiale est maintenant également disponible en français.
Les vidéos fournissent des informations sur divers sujets liés à la production de l'aviculture familiale. Ils abordent le rôle et la fonction de la production de l'aviculture familiale ainsi que les aspects techniques de la production comme l'alimentation en quatre différents systèmes de production, la prévention et le contrôle des maladies et l'évaluation économique. Les vidéos sont réalisées pour l'autoformation et destinés à la formation du personnel de vulgarisation.
La version française est disponibles à:

DECISION TOOLS FOR FAMILY POULTRY DEVELOPMENT
http://www.fao.org/docrep/019/i3542e/i3542e.pdf

The Decision Tools address the situation of four distinct family poultry production systems and their development opportunities: small extensive scavenging, extensive scavenging, semi-intensive production and small-scale intensive production. They describe the poultry production systems, including their required inputs and expected outputs and the techniques and tools used to assess the operational environment, in order to design interventions suited to the local conditions. Practical technical information are provided about genetics and reproduction, feeds and feeding, poultry health, housing, marketing and value chain development,

The traditional family poultry production system that has endured for
centuries will continue for the next century without any intervention as
long as our rural environment and people persist. However output and

· How would we define sustainable development of FP?

Due to the little inputs and efforts required, poultry keeping has been a very resilient activity. It is noted that in some war-torn places, poultry surfaces first as a supportive activity. However, sustainability of the activity in FP would be very difficult to define as it is dynamic- in the sense

Dear Dr Sujit Nayak

In Sri Lanka the land holdings of recipient are limited. Therefore, I
found that by providing such families with a flock of birds with
different adult body sizes gave a better production (with scavnging
only) than a unform size flock of birds such as Giriraj and Vanaraj.
This is due to the limitation of the feed resource base and th body
maintenance requiements. Plase refer Guneratne SP and Roberts paper

opportunity to express my views based on ‘perceptions developed through
interactions, observations and learning’ while working/ interacting with
underprivileged and not so underprivileged families in different parts of
India (may be relevant to South Asia to some extent).

Chers modérateur et tous les autres intervenants, j'aimerai apporter ma contribution sur le thème suivant: 3.    Le système de production familiale face au système de production commerciale: compétition ou complémentarité? Pour ma part, je suis d'abord confronté à un problème, celui du terme aviculture familiale qui prête à confusion: 1. Si on définit l'aviculture familiale comme cette aviculture pratiquée à petite échelle, avec des races exotiques, pour subvenir aux besoins alimentaires des familles et aux mieux répondre à certains besoins financiers, on pourrais parler de compétition  de l'aviculture commerciale avec cette forme d'aviculture.  Pourquoi compétition? L'aviculture familiale, ainsi  définit, est

Dear Moderators: Below are my contributions to the on-going e-conference:

There are varied ecotypes of poultry that are widely distributed in my country. However, their characteristics are yet delineated. Therefore, their comprehensive information are needed, such as description of phenotypic characteristics, production environment to which they are adapted,

Monsieur,
Je suis content de participer à un sujet qui me tient à coeur depuis
longtemps. Je m'appelle Jean Didier Mogbekuma et j'habite en Belgique.
Dasmon association nous sommes en train de mettre sur pieds un projet
d'aviculture familiale à Kinshasa.
Nous pensons que l'aviculture familiale améliore la vie de femmes et des
enfants. Donne aux familles ce dont elles ont besoin, la nourriture et du
même coup renforce les portefeuilles de familles.
Mais, il se trouve que dans de grandes villes, comme Kinshasa entre autre,
les femmes ne sont pas vraiment motivées à s'impliquer dans cet élevage.
