Dear Meat List,
I apologize for my silence; I’m in the Sudan and Dr. Ammar Elshikh Idris Omer, the head the Ministry’s Livestock Planning and Economic Analysis Group, reminded me of my lack of diligence! I’m actually doing less livestock work and more investment.
In fact, I would propose to the list members that they join the newly initiated FAO-LIVESTOCK-NETWORK which is run by Daniela Battaglia. Daniela cc:ed can inform you how to subscribe. Daniela also manages an animal feed list (see attached email)
Given that many of you are in the field and not in FAO, I would encourage Daniela’s to broaden coverage of livestock and OTHER USEFUL publications to include information from different sources, ensure access to information like OECD/FAO’s long term projections of agriculturehttp://www.agri-outlook.org/, links to FAO National Price Data Base, and other information (both from FAO and globally) which inform livestock practitioners. Also USDA (if you are interested in data) has an excellent on-line (PSD) site from which you can pull off livestock information from many countries. Of course, FAO’s statistical database is also useful, more comprehensive, covering many more commodities in more countries.
All the best to all my livestock friends and colleagues!
Cheers,
Nancy Morgan
