Dear Colleagues,

Last year, FAO invited PhD students and young researchers from developing countries, working in the area of animal nutrition, to participate in a video competition and to share information on promising animal nutrition technologies or interventions that will contribute to improved feeding of livestock.

The purpose of conducting the competition was to:

i)                    promote research focusing on the needs of smallholder farmers,
ii)                  enhance South-South knowledge exchange and transfer, and
iii)                facilitate identification of technologies and interventions that have potential for replication and upscaling.
Many of you participated in the competition and we thank you for your participation.

A set of 11 selected Videos from the competition can be accessed from:

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzp5NgJ2-dK4NruQOotsBVeyfL82nBskg


The focus of the strategies, demonstrated in the videos, is on smallholder farmers; and their application increases livestock productivity and income of farmers. The strategies can be replicated in other parts of the world and have potential to lift poor farmers out of poverty.
The videos will be useful to Farmers, Extension Services, Non-Governmental Organizations, , Livestock development agencies/departments and Research Institutions.

Feel free to circulate the above link/URL.

Regards,

Harinder Makkar
