World Livestock 2013: Changing disease landscapes<http://www.fao.org/docrep/019/i3440e/i3440e.pdf>
World Livestock 2013: Changing disease landscapes offers a comprehensive approach for the promotion of global health and gives greater emphasis on agro-ecological resilience, protection of biodiversity and efficient use of natural resources to ensure safer food supply chains. The publication explores three key areas:  the Pressure, including drivers and risk factors that contribute to disease emergence, spread and persistence; the State, describing the disease dynamics that result from the Pressure and their subsequent impact; and the Response, required both to adapt and improve the State and to mitigate the Pressure.
Tackling climate change through livestock <http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3437e/i3437e.pdf>
A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestock's contribution to global warming - as well as the sector's potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.
Milk and dairy products in human nutrition<http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3396e/i3396e.pdf>

Milk and dairy product are not only a vital source of nutrition but they also represent livelihood opportunities for farm families, processors and other stakeholders in dairy value chains. This publication draws together information on nutrition, and dairy-industry development, providing a rich source of useful material on the role of dairy products in human nutrition and the way that investment in dairy-industry development has changed.

Slaughter and Processing Options and Issues for Locally Sourced Meat  (ERS/USDA)



Demand for locally sourced meats has increased in recent years, although it remains a small share of total demand. This report evaluates the availability of slaughter and processing facilities for local meat production and the extent to which these may constrain or support growth in demand for locally sourced meats. Types, number, location, and other salient characteristics of slaughter and processing facilities are outlined by State. Further disaggregation of facilities by capacity and annual volume by species also provides information on slaughter and processing options for local meat producer-marketers.
