BACKGROUND Increases in population, disposable income and urbanisation in Asian countries are driving an
unprecedented rise in demand for foods of animal origin that will stretch the capacity of existing
production and distribution systems. The increasing demand for livestock products has implications
for natural resource use (land and water) and environmental, health (animal and human) and socio-
economic impacts.
Feed is the foundation of the livestock production, with feed costs generally accounting for up to
70% of the cost of animal production. Furthermore, animal feeding impacts animal reproduction,
health and welfare and safety of animal products. Ensuring access to feed in sufficient quantity and
quality is therefore among the key and strategic priorities for livestock sector development.
However, the prospects of dramatically increasing feed demands raises the serious question as to
how these feed requirements will be met, particularly in land-constrained countries and regions.
FEED ASSESSMENTS AND BALANCES
In most Asian countries feed balances are not usually available or accurate despite their strategic
role in livestock sector development. Guidance in developing national feed assessments (NFAS)
based lessons learned across a wide range of feed situations, from spatially extensive rangeland and
grasslands to highly intensive crop-livestock systems is available (FAO, 2012).
Feed balances can be calculated in terms of energy, protein or other specific nutrients. While
assessments of feed inventories and feed productive capacities provide critical information, the
sufficiency of the feed supply can only be gauged relative to the demands for feeds. Essentially, this
comparison between livestock requirements and feed supplies constitutes the feed balance.
Feed assessments are a pre-requisite for developing optimal feeding strategies at various levels and
thus environmental sustainability and support food security. The ability to cope with emergency
feed shortage situations, the ability to provide input data into country level food input-output
analyses, and the capability to assess environmental impact of livestock are challenges that all
initiatives and stakeholders involved in sustainable livestock development are confronted with.
LINKAGES WITH OTHER COMPONENTS OF LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT
Better feed assessments will strengthen past and on-going work done by several institutions in the
region (research, development, producers, etc). They could be basis for informed decision and
stronger advocacy on the need for pro-poor investments in livestock feeds in order to face the
increasing market demand for livestock products in the region.
If food security is to be achieved and the demand for livestock feed met, agricultural R&D must also
be involved for a better focus on integrated approaches to producing and marketing more food
(staple crops and livestock products) and feed. Drivers of the sourcing and utilization of the feed
need to be better factored in considering the agro-ecological systems but also the requirements of
the various value chains as well as their constraints, potential, level of integration and specialization.
Feed assessments are therefore a component of an overall strategy or options that will integrate
technical (genetics, health and nutrition), policy and institutional interventions for using resources
more efficiently to produce more food and feed in extensive, mixed crop-livestock, mixed extensive
and intensive systems.
2
By analysing and anticipating the evolution of the feed sector in Asia and subsequently strategically
targeting technical, institutional and policy interventions, it should be possible:
to foster policy processes and mechanisms at regional and national level that contribute to food security, poverty alleviation and sustainable livestock sector development;
to support resource-poor livestock-keepers in their efforts to alleviate input constraints to food and feed production and exploit market opportunities for livestock products;
build mechanisms to establish and maintain feed assessments in Asia.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE
As a first step towards the longer-term goal of generating better data to support sustainable and
equitable livestock sector development, this meeting of experts is planned to discuss and review
state-of-the art on national feed assessments and to identify critical knowledge gaps.
The envisaged workshop outcomes are:
1. An agreed approach for: a) conducting feed assessments at country and regional levels, b)
characterising feeding systems, c) generating quantitative information on compound feed and
concentrate mix, including the cereals and cereal types and agro-industrial by-products that
are used in the production of compound feed and concentrate mix, and d) updating regularly
information a), b) and c).
2. A regional initiative for a better use of feed in livestock production in Asia.
WORKSHOP APPROACH
The workshop will be attended by (i) national delegates involved in animal production with
particular expertise in the field of animal feeding, (ii) directors of animal production in ministries of
Livestock or Agriculture, (iii) experts in livestock development, animal nutrition, feed technology, (iv)
livestock development officers (regional development institutions, research, NGO, FAO) and (v)
private processors and feed producers.
To set the scene, country delegates will be requested to prepare a paper and make a presentation
on the animal feed sector in their country. The paper should cover following aspects:
a) National feed resources with quantitative information on their availability (on yearly basis and
on seasonal basis; both),
b) Methodologies used in generating the quantitative information on availability of feed
resources,
c) Information on the main feeding systems (which feedstuff, in what proportions, which period
of the year and in which part of the country they are fed; and the relative importance of each
feeding system in generating animal products) in the country; and
d) Quantitative information on compound feed (manufactured by companies, in mesh or pellet
form and sold in the market) and concentrate feed (large scale operators who manufacture
their own feed, and smallholders who mix own feed on farm).
In the following part of the workshop, international experts will provide overviews of current
approaches to feed assessments and innovations in animal nutrition for consideration by working
groups, which will be formed on day 3 of the workshop to chart the way forward towards
harmonization of approaches for feed assessments and better utilization of available feed resources.

OPENING REMARKS H. Konuma
Distinguished delegates, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,
On behalf of the Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific, Mr.
Hiroyuki Konuma, and on my own behalf, I have great pleasure in welcoming you to Thailand and to
the FAO-APHCA Regional Workshop on “Animal Feed Resources and their Management in the Asia-
Pacific Region”.
This workshop is extremely timely - in fact, it should probably have been held some years ago.
Increases in population and disposable income in Asian countries are driving an unprecedented rise
in demand for food of animal origin, i.e. meat, milk and eggs. This rapidly growing demand will
severely stretch the capacity of existing food production and distribution systems with major
implications for natural resource use and consequential environmental, health - both animal and
human - and socio-economic impacts.
Feed is the foundation of the livestock production, with feed costs generally accounting for up to
70% of the cost of production. Feed prices have been increasingly volatile due to negative impacts of
climate change and natural disasters, as well as from increasing competition in the use of grains
between feed and bio-fuel. Animal feeding systems impact on animal reproduction, health and
welfare, and the safety and quality of animal products. Ensuring access to feed in sufficient quantity
and quality is therefore among key strategic priorities for livestock sector development.
The prospect of dramatically increasing demand for animal source food and consequential growth in
demand for animal feed raises the question as to how these feed requirements can be met,
particularly in land-constrained countries and regions, and in the face of the growing food - feed -
fuel competition.
In order to better monitor and guide national and regional livestock sector development strategies,
it is essential to develop systematic approaches to accurately assess livestock feed supplies and to
obtain better insight into how these feed resources are being utilized, and how the prices are
changing.
Accurate estimation of feed resource availability and use would improve assessments of the
environmental impacts of livestock, both through land use change and through greenhouse gas
emissions associated with livestock production. Accurate information on the proportions of cereals
being diverted to animal feed is a critical element for assessing national and regional food security
situations. Furthermore, feed assessments, including the price developments, are essential pre-
requisites for developing optimal feeding strategies at various levels and thus environmental
sustainability and food security.
Unfortunately, despite their strategic role in livestock sector development planning, feed balances
are not usually available and where available, they tend to be rather inaccurate. Sub-optimal input
data for country-level food/feed input-output analyses and the inability to accurately assess
environmental impacts of livestock are challenges that all initiatives and stakeholders involved in
sustainable livestock development are confronted with.
4
Thus, I consider this workshop is an important step towards the longer-term goal of systematically
generating more and better data to support sustainable and equitable livestock sector development
in the Asia-Pacific region. I am convinced that your expertise, experience and commitment will make
this workshop a success and that you will chart the way forward towards a better understanding and
eventually efficient utilization of feed resources in Asia.
I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the envisaged workshop outcomes, namely:
3. An agreed and systematic approach for:
a) conducting feed assessments,
b) characterising feeding systems,
c) generating quantitative information on compound feed and concentrate mixes and their
utilization, and,
d) systems for regularly updating the above information
and
4. The foundations for a regional initiative towards better use of feed in livestock production in
Asia.
I suggest that you keep these outcomes in mind in your deliberations.
I wish to welcome once again to the land of smiles. I wish you all success in the deliberations and a
pleasant stay in Thailand.
Thank you.

What are National Feed Assessment and National Feed
Assessment System?
National Feed Assessment is a data- and computation-based analysis of the
supplies and demands for livestock feeds in a country
A National Feed Assessment System is a complete set of procedures,
facilities, tools, personnel, organizations, and institutions involved in the
collecting, handling, processing of data necessary to calculate and report
the supplies of livestock feeds from all sources and for all livestock types
in a country.
10
Why do we need National Feed Assessments? ....1/3
Planning of the livestock sector as well as the setting of environmentally
sustainable stocking rates
Used in conjunction with nutrient balances, they can identify potential
surpluses or deficits
Spatial and temporal assessments of current, and forecasted feed resources,
including forages, will assist in disaster management
Development and implementation of sound policies regarding the use of national
feed resources that will contribute to the sustainable growth of national livestock
sectors
Informed decisions related to the nature and quantities of commodities, the feed
resources that could be traded locally, potential areas for feed markets, and feed
resources involved in imports and exports
Why do we need National Feed Assessments? .....2/3
Assess the fractions of food grain that is used for feed
Production + (imports - exports) + (opening stocks - closing stocks) = food
available for human consumption + industrial non-food uses + used as feed
+ used as seed + waste (+ discrepancy)
Help to better characterize the impacts of feed shortages on livestock
production at national levels
Enhance the efficiency and profitability of the animal feed industry and assist
researchers to formulate sustainable feeding strategies.
Enable determination of the input-output relations for countries, e.g. the
estimation of edible protein outputs versus protein inputs
Why do we need National Feed Assessments? ....3/3
Improve the accuracy of assessments of the environmental impacts of
livestock resulting from land use transformations, soil nutrient use, as well
greenhouse gas emissions and element fluxes (e.g. nitrogen) associated
with livestock production.
Facilitate determination of animals that can be supported or produced based upon
existing feed resources, and in identifying what feed resources would and could be
developed to achieve production objectives.
Knowledge of forage biomass availabilities and distributions can assist
pastoralists in determining whether to move, buy or sell, animals, and assess
the level of risk for decision making

Feed balance: Why?
At its simplest level, a feed balance is a comparison between
- Requirements of livestock (demand)
- Amount of utilizable feed (supply) and therefore
A “snapshot“ of the current situation
+
Demand Supply
A livestock feed balance can be undertaken: local, regional national level
- Depending on policy requirements & degree of accuracy required
11
Calculation of feed balance: General considerations
Calculated on an annual basis
(many feed crops, such as cereal grains, have an annual production
cycle with one harvest, this may be appropriate)
May be performed over a shorter period
(may be advantages in doing so in certain circumstances)
For example, for periods of the year when the amount of natural grassland
available for grazing animals is low
(to establish the maximum potential livestock carrying capacity of a
particular region when feeds are in limited supply)
Livestock feed balance enables
- Identification of limitations to current levels of production
- Estimation of the feed requirements for increasing production
- Effective handling of emergency situations
- Sound planning of livestock sector
- Potential shortages in feed to meet increasing demand for food
- Types of feed materials that might be required where shortfalls
identified
- Alternatively, where a feed balance identifies a feed surplus, can be
used to estimate the additional livestock production that the surplus
might support
A structured approach to planning – A must
Feed balance in terms of energy required
Feed balances are normally calculated in terms of the energy required by
livestock and the energy supplied by feeds
(energy is usually the first limiting component in livestock diets)
Estimate the energy requirements for each class of livestock
• maintenance;
• pregnancy;
• production (e.g. milk yield, live weight gain, number of eggs produced)
In some situations, adjustments required
- extremes of climate (heat or cold), and
- for exercise where this is significant
Demand Supply
• Numbers of animals at the beginning and end of the feed balance period
(usually the beginning and end of the year)
• Herd or flock production measured as
-- calving/lambing/kidding frequency
-- mortality rate
-- age at first calving
-- calving interval
-- live weight gain
-- output of animal products (milk, meat, eggs, wool)
Feed balance calculation: Animal number & production level
A simple approach for feed balance
Use a form of reverse-balance calculation
- energy required for a given level of production
(growth rate, milk yield, calves born is calculated)
This is then divided by the energy concentration of the forage, after any energy
provided by supplementary feeds has been discounted
Example for a lactating dairy cow
• Energy required for maintenance and production = 190 MJ ME/day
• ME provided by compound feed 1.8 kg DM at 12.5 MJ/kg DM = 22.5 MJ ME/day
• Energy from forages = 190 – 22.5 = 167.5 MJ/day
• ME content of forage = 10.5 MJ ME/kg DM
• Forage DM intake = 167.5/10.5 = 15.9 kg DM/day
In this example, forage dry matter intake is predicted as 15.9 kg/day
(allow for losses)

How feed balance information can be used?
A surplus may suggest the potential for further livestock production,
although it is important to establish when and where the surplus occurs
A surplus of forages during a brief period of the year or in an area not suitable to
livestock production may not be fully utilizable unless livestock can be
temporarily moved to the area
Alternatively, it may be possible to conserve the forage as silage or hay and
used to supplement grassland when growth is low
In the case of a deficit, this can be rectified by increasing crop production or
improving the efficiency of conservation of surplus forages, by the purchase of
feeds or a reduction in numbers of animals
Comments
Although a feed balance can be assessed at a national level, greater accuracy
achieved if it is done at local or regional levels and the results consolidated.
Because of the different feeds for ruminant and non-ruminant livestock,
it is recommended that reconciliations are done separately for each species
before producing a national feed balance
What is meant by Feeding Systems?
A Feeding System contains information on which feedstuffs and what
proportion are fed to livestock
Feeding Systems
Integrating the temporal information in Feeding Systems, for
being more meaningful :
A Feeding System contains information on which feedstuffs, in what
proportion, and which period of the year (season) are fed to livestock
Integrating also the demographic information in Feeding Systems,
for being even more meaningful:
A Feeding System contains information on which feedstuffs, in what
proportion, which period of the year (for example a season) and in which
region (for example a agro-climatic zone) and/or livestock production system
(for example: extensive, mixed extensive, mixed crop-livestock, intensive (or
zero-grazing)) are fed to an animal species
Why countries should characterize Feeding Systems?
Development of efficient feeding strategies – that increase profitability
– increase nutrient use efficiency in animal food chain – decrease
emission of green house gas emissions – production quality
Generation of accurate country-level GHG inventories for the livestock
industries – animal species/commodity wise
Assessment and development of feed-related approaches – mitigation
of GHG – adaptation of the livestock sector to on-going global warming
Characterization of Feeding Systems enables:
1/2
Why countries should characterize Feeding Systems?
Identification of appropriate methodologies and approaches including
institutional mechanism for estimating feed use and feed balance
Better understanding of the drivers influencing use of feedstuffs, enabling better
forecasting of their use and likely changes in livestock production systems
Estimation of resources that are human foods but used for animal feed, for example
cereal grains, soybean, enabling accurate assessment of food security situation in
country
Improvement of feed related statistics in national and international databases
including FAOSTAT, furthering sound scientific analyses and sound policy
formulation
Characterization of Feeding Systems enables:

Feed Assessment, Feed Balance and Feeding Systems?
“Feed Assessments, Feed Balance and Feeding Systems are an integral
component of an overall strategy for enhancing resources use
efficiency to produce more food.
Technical, policy and institutional interventions are required – generate –
sustain these efforts

• Make quantitative assessment of various feed resources available in
your country.
• Conduct a critical analysis of the [methodologies and approaches used]
in generating quantitative data on feed resources and in calculating
feed balance.
• [Approaches] Characterise feeding systems for main livestock species
• Generate quantitative data on the types of grains used and their amount in

NATIONAL FEED INVENTORY INTRODUCTION
Nepal - agrarian country - typical crop livestock mixed farming system
Livestock: an integral part of Nepalese farming system - shares about 30% to the AGDP
Livestock are kept for draught in agriculture, transport andmanure besides being a major source of income, whichcontributes nearly 36 – 47 % to the total income of farmhouseholds in different eco-zones and engages nearly 80% offarm families.
Increased urbanization, better mobility and the increased flow
of tourists have increased the demand for livestock products
which has led to increasing commercialization of livestock
Almost all Nepalese farming families keep some animals;
average livestock per family is about 4.8 head.
With increasing altitude the number of livestock per household
rises (Terai: 3.1 head per family; 12.2 in Mountains).
The Agricultural Perspective Plan (APP, 1995) has estimated
livestock growth from 2.9% to 6.1% by the end of a 2015
Accordingly its share in AGDP growth will rise from 31% to
45%
The most important limiting factor to meet this challenging
task is the feed and fodder deficit
Traditionally the major feed resources are crop residues and
by-products, forest, seasonal grazing land, and non-cultivated
areas.
Agricultural lands provide about 60% of the total annual feed
supply whilst 40% by forest and grazing lands (TLDP, 2002)
The feed balance is such that the total dry matter deficit, and
total green roughage deficit in the country is about 30.8% and
54.3%, respectively
Livestock in Nepal are in feed deficit by over three million tons
per annum (TLDP, 2002)
Great effort has to be made to provide adequate feed not only
to increase production, but also to lower the production cost:
only limited options are available to tackle this problem
APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY This report is obtained in present form through the critical review of various literatures
including journal articles, online articles, annual progress reports of various agencies,
institutions and organizations, statistical yearbook of Nepal, text books, research reports,
master and PhD theses etc.
The report has tried to provide detail information regarding to the feeds and feeding
situation in different seasons (summer and winter) in three ecological regions (Mountain,
Hills and Terai) of all five development regions (eastern, central, western, mid-western
and far-western) for each livestock species including ruminants and non ruminants
reared in Nepal
Tables and texts in this report are generated with the help of quantitative data available
in the reviewed articles and reports.
Data on feed assessment has been produced based on available information of different
types of feed manufactured for different livestock species.
Accordingly, total produced volume of feed has been presented based on reported values
for all the country representing last 12 years period that covers requirement of feed.
Indeed, feed assessment has been made considering all three major livestock rearing and two
types of feeds i.e. homemade and compound feeds.
Considering the similarity in nature of all ecological zones and belts calculations has been
made to represent the general scenario. Accordingly, the method followed includes:
Ruminant and non ruminant population has been divided proportionately to the each
production system e.g. Mixed extensive, crop-livestock and intensive systems
Those values were then multiplied by the total feed required per day per animal considering
homemade and compound feeds that gave the value of feed requirement per day to the
livestock population of each category of each species
In the meanwhile, calculation was made for major cereals and pulse ingredients used in feed
manufacturing that could compete to the human food. They were, wheat, maize, millet, barley,
rice, soybean and other pulses
Information thus collected were verified and approved by organizing a day workshop with the
key persons and professional experts from the Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU),
Nepal Agriculture Research Council (NARC) and Department of Livestock Services (DLS) in
Kathmandu Nepal on 12 July, 2013.

Feeds and feeding resourcesRoughages
Crop residues covers large parts of animal feeds in all ecological domains and areas.
Approximately 40% TDN comems from crop residues that animals are grazed in the crop field
after harvesting main crops for human feeds. This type of feed resource is temporary in nature
but widely prevails all over the country (Annex 1).
Nepalese farmers are collecting both locally available grasses that includes fodder trees and
tree fodders to meet the daily dry matter need of the ruminants whereas recent trend is to
cultivate improved fodder species such as Napier, Mulato, Stylosanthese and Berseem as well
as peas and oats. Uncultivated grass species are locally available herbs and shrubs whereas
Government of Nepal has proposed to increased about 7600 ha of cultivated land with
improved fodder by the year 2013-2014.
More than 50 species of improved species of leguminous perennial and annual forages are
introduced in Nepal that has increased quality value in feeding management. Stylosanthes,
Butterfly pea, Glysine and centrocema are popular legume species along with vetch and
improved fodder legumes such as Leucaena leucocephala. Legumes are important in the
feeding management as Nepalese farmers often rely to the leguminous species to replace with
the costly concentrates.
Forestry, farming and animal husbandry are intimately related as about 40 percent of livestock feed is derived from forests and trees grown on farms.
There are about 700 fodder trees widely available across the country whereas more than 30 species are widely farmed in the community as well as private farm land in Nepal.
Leguminous as well as non-leguminous fodder trees are widely cultivated in the country with the feeding scope during winter hard period. Even animal in the high altitudes are supplied with fodder trees or tree fodder during winter time.
Besides conventional feed stuffs, non-conventional feeding stuffs are also popular in Nepalese livestock feeding management. Lots of local species that are valued in terms of feeding purpose and are available in the terrace risers and bunds but are neglected, often used in feeding animals.
Besides, husks of maize cobs, rice straws, millet straws, sugarcane tops and molasses are also considered as source for animal feed.
Feed assessment data
Percent produced of the required ingredients is far below to the requirements of the total ingredients per year even when whole of the produced cereals and pulses are used in feed preparation.
This clearly indicates heavy reliance on importing these ingredients as production are not sufficient to meet the requirement.
Out among the ingredient produced, contribution of rice and wheat is less than 5% of the requirement whereas, the production of other ingredients are far below the need.
This fact also highlights that present scenario of production and utilization of cereal and pulses in feed preparation heavily challenges to the food requirement of human population which is already deficit in nature.
Therefore, continued approaches of using major cereals in feed preparation must be re-thought; perhaps there is a need of sound feeding management thorough utilization of crop residues, forest resources, and other roughages and fodder forages rather than paying attention to the higher production and utilization of cereal and pulses ingredients.

Tariffs/barriers to feed imports
Recently, Government of Nepal also has emphasized in its policy to support private industries in facilitating custom duties and relaxing rules and tariff regulations in purchasing important ingredients from abroad.
Agricultural reform duty is levied at a flat rate of 10% ad valorem on those agricultural products that face no customs duty. Thus, even those imports eligible for duty free import from India and Tibet are subject to a levy.
The purpose of this duty seems to provide some protection to domestic products while remaining within the broad framework of the Nepal-India bilateral treaty, which provides for trade in primary products free from customs duty and quantitative restriction.
A local development duty is also levied on importable items at the rate of 1.5% ad valorem (Chapagain, 2004).
It is evident from the tariff structure that poultry products have some protection as compared to feed. In case of feed, it is somewhat complex to determine the level of tariff protection.
In addition, Nepal has also committed to amend existing relevant laws rules and regulations to make them WTO compatible (WTO, 2003).
Of direct concern to the poultry industry are the laws concerning export and import and customs valuation listed in the legislative action plan of Nepal’s submission to the WTO.
Nepal also committed to introduce a new law on anti-dumping by July 2004.
Parallel to this development, the government is also reviewing the current Food Act 2023 (1966) with an intention to update it to meet the future feed requirements (Chapagain, 2004).
Restrictions on exports
There are no export duties on any of the poultry products
Two feed ingredients, namely rice bran and molasses, are however subject to export duty at the specific rate of Rs. 0.25 per kilogram (Chapagain, 2004)
This is subjected to change in terms of price adjustment. Nepal already lacks enough feeds and feeding materials to support its growing livestock
Therefore government’s policy is to move towards self sufficiency in feed production and supporting its livestock’s requirement thus major ingredients related to feed production are restricted to export
This seems to be continued in the future in order to safe guard the growing livestock population and livestock related industries
Drivers including the policy options
Employment generation- Government of Nepal is encouraging its people to create employment through self efforts whereas out among the natural resource sector livestock is also one of the increased interest creating sectors for employment generation.
Youth Self-employment Fund of Government of Nepal has been especially involved in creating jobs/employments to the youths that are largely based to the livestock sector.
Issues related to feeds and feeding management are already becoming a matter of great concern of the farmers/entrepreneurs.
Marketing potentials- Livestock sector has ever increasing potentials of marketing in Nepal. Most of the livestock produced are domestically consumed whereas it hasn’t met the potential meat requirement of people in the country.
Marketing potentials is thus related with industry development that is well linked to the pricing, quality as well as quantity supply of feed ingredients.

Knowledge gaps
Precise information on exact dry matter requirement of each species under different categories of rearing systems and stage of rearing (lactation, dry, pregnant)
Exact contribution of seasonal forages (local), crop by-products, their volume and nutritional values at different stage of harvesting that could be varied according to the niche specific context
Well prediction of dynamics of animal population covering different stages of growth
Real use and contribution of major cereal ingredients to the dominant rearing systems in terms of feeding management
Approaches that could help in bridging knowledge gaps
Continued preparation of feed inventory covering resource base, feeding systems, niche specific variation rather than broad ecological domain
Generation of required data at lower level of system hierarchy (at village and community level) by DLS in association with other line agencies and NGOs
Conduction of representative workshops at lower level of system hierarchy (at village and community level) to verify the obtained data and to update the inventory with the involvement of major stakeholders
Major assumptions
There is no or least variation existed in different eco-zone in relation to the existing livestock rearing systems
Major sources of feeds in Nepalese livestock feeding management comes from natural resource base including crops residues and seasonal fodder/forages that they are similar in nature in terms of contributing to the feeding management (quantity issue)
Fodder tree including non-conventional feeds contribute major say during winter season whereas those contributions are similar and peculiar only in the mid-hills of Nepal
Feeds ingredients are largely used as minimum quantity in rest of the systems whereas intensive system use major ingredients that can compete to the human food as well
Verification of major assumption in order to improve quality of the data/information
Available published literatures have consistently used similar statistics that reflects consistency in nature of available data
Government of Nepal and other authentic data sources also have used similar assumption while generating data bases that also resembles to the data on feed inventory
40% of the total land in Nepal has been covered by forest resource whereas only 25% arable lands barely contribute to the animal feeds thus natural resource base reflects valid assumptions
Conclusions and recommendations Nepalese farming system is typically crop-livestock integrated in nature where
role of livestock is pivotal in supporting the livelihood of Nepalese people.
All types of livestock species including ruminants, non-ruminants are reared in across the ecological domains where feeding management is often traditional in nature.
Forest, crop lands, crop residues, stovers and by-products are major feed resource in Nepal. The role of these sectors are seasonal in nature especially while contributing to the feeds needs of the existing species.
Livestock feed situation is not constant in terms of seasons as well as ecological belts. Winter is the hard hit season to supply feeds whereas lush of feeds and feed by-products are available during summer time.
The role of conservation fodder is minimal in overall to mange feed requirements and supply.
Fodder trees and tree fodder plays pivotal roles in feeds management during winter hard period as more than 100 fodder species are domesticated in the country.
Leguminous as well as non-leguminous fodder trees are common in practice.
Hundreds of improved fodder species including perennial legumes are introduced in the country that has increased access to the feeds and feeding management in the country.
Government current policy is friendly and practical that aims to manage sustainable feeds utilization and resource use through proper management.
Government of Nepal has implemented several policies to regulate production and quality aspects of feeds and feeding management that would, hopefully, support in mitigating DM requirements of increasing livestock population

Extensive Production System
• Country’s major production system
• Large herd size,
• Small ruminant dominant ( SR 64%, LR 36%)
• Entirely depend on grazing lands, No suplt.
• Use of grazing lands depend on timing & intensity of rain fall
• Nomadic and Transhumant systems (landless)
• Large diversity in arid, desert EPS and semi arid, subhumid hilly EPS---- migratory system as mitigating measure
Mixed Extensive System
• Grazing + stall feeding; sedentary small size flocks/herds
• Crop residues, hay, tree leaves, fodder
• Home mixed supplement to milking cows & goats only (oil cakes + cereal bran, other grain byproducts 40:60)
• Fattening kids, lams for Eid fed grain based suplt for 4 months (200g/d)
Mixed Crop-Livestock System (MCLS)
• Small holder farming- mixed spp.• Accommodate nearly half of LR &
one third of SR• Feed dependency on arable land• Complementary roles• Contribute 70% milk supply• Diversified – arid and irrigated
regions– Herd size & species composition– Input-output– Breed quality– LR/SR ratio– Land for fodder– Market access
Mixed Crop-Livestock System (MCLS)
Supplement Feeding• 95% farmers use home-mixed
conc. & 5% compound feed• Oilseed cake, cereal bran ,
grains/dried bread as 45:45:10• Fed to milking & adv. Pregnant
cow, buff (3 kg/d) & goats (300g/d)
• Occasional Special supplement oil/ghee 500 ml , raw sugar 1 kg to milking cows/buff
• Animal Fattening for eid on grain-oilseed cake, bran (20:40:40) based suplt.
• Dry & growing animals not given suplt.
• Silage making slowly adopted

Intensive Production SystemDairy Cattle & Buffalo- Feeding Systems
• Less fodder (15-20 kg/anim) & more concentrate ( 6-12 kg/anim)
• Small, medium farms are more traditional, 80% prepare own suplt.- oilseed cake-cereal bran based (50:50)
• Large scale farms have State of art Technology, use compound feed ( grain, oilseed cake , cereal bran, molasses 20: 30:40:10)
Intensive Production SystemDairy Cattle & Buffalo- Feeding Systems
Suppl. feeding practices in small, medium farms
• No or little grains – Imbalance E/P
• No minerals added - wide Ca:P ratio 2:11-2:13
• Fixed allowance not based on milk yield
• Not cost effective – overburden low producers & deprive higher producer
• High N & P excretion – Env. Pollution
• High afflation intake from moldy dried bread & CSC --
--decreases milk , reprod and make milk unsafe for human consumption
Baled Silage is getting popular for solving fodder problem
Animals are fed large amount of cereal straw during fodder shortage in peak summer and peak winter months . Baled silage as effective alternative for landless commercial dairy farms
Issues/missing InformationFeed Resource Inventory
Crop Residues• Changes in extraction ratio with varietal shift in cereal
cultivation • Multiple use of crop residues as feed, fuel, industry &
other• Movement/trading of crop residues among different AEZ
Grains• Quantity used in ruminants, equine, rural poultry, quails
and fish feeds• Grains used in food processing and directly consumed by
human • Export/Import

Issues/missing InformationFeed Resource Inventory
Fodder crops
• Land utilization & yield data on fodder crop reported by statistical bureau – questionable
• Data on fodder species/varieties & zonal distribution
• Seasonal variation - impact of climate change
• Quantity of non-cultivated forages (grasses, tree leaves, weeds, crop thinning)
• Hay and silage making
• Quantity exported?
Issues/missing InformationFeed Resource Inventory
Grazing
• Most neglected area
• 20-30 years old data
• Carrying capacity of range lands-quantification
• Degradation of range lands-changes in vegetation cover (biomass & quality)
• Reduction in grazing lands-erosion & agric. & other uses
• Grazing practices; AEZ & seasons
Issues/missing InformationFeed Resource Inventory
• National Livestock Census is conducted after every 10 years---long gap
• Validity of estimates based on old data ?• Quality of Livestock Census data is not up to the mark
– Milk production data misleading ?– Missing information on fattening – Missing information on intensive system– No data on primary feeding systems (grazing, stall feeding,
both)– No consideration for AEZ
• Data on commercial fish farming and quails farming not traceable
Way Forward
Main Cross Cutting Issue is;
Scattered information, raw data, no compilation & Updating on regular basis
• Need institutional set up to collect, update, identify gaps & generate missing data
• Use university students in each province as work force
• Funding needed to support the activity at national level with coordinating units in each province
• Regional partnership for experience sharing & exchange of knowledge

Maize - (Zea mays)
Common names – makka (hindi), Mushkina jola (kannada), makkajonalu (Telugu), Makka solam (Tamil), General description Maize is ranked as third most important food crop in India. Maize is a major food, feed and fodder crop and currently India ranks 4th in area and 7th in production of maize globally. Over the last five years, it has registered a growth rate of more than 7% in area and more than 6% in productivity in India. Currently around 8.5 million hectares of land is under cultivation and the production is around 21.8 million tons with an average productivity of 2.6 tons/hectare. Current growth rate of maize production is around 9% and is higher than the consumption rate of 5% and as a result India is a net exporter of maize (2-3 million tons/annum) since 2008-09. The major states producing maize includes Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharasthra, Bihar and Rajasthan. Uses The uses of maize are mainly for food, feed and industrial purpose that includes the production of starch and distilleries for production of potable alcohol. Maize is the first choice of grains in livestock feed due to it high energy and digestibility, especially in poultry diets where energy is very important factor influencing the performance of the birds. Maize is generally used at the rate of 50-60% of diets in broiler birds, 40-50% in layer birds, 15-30% of concentrate feeds in cattle, buffalo, sheep & goats. Composition The proximate composition, fibre fractions and amino acid composition of maize grains is as follows

Areca leaf sheath
Description
Areca is a commercial crop and is mainly grown in the states
of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Assam and Andaman &
Nicobar Islands. Areca leaf sheath is shed periodically from
the tree and it can be potentially used as dry fodder in
ruminants. Around four lakh hectares of land is under Areca
cultivation and it is estimated that 5400 million leaf sheaths
are shedded annually. Each areca leaf sheath weighs
around 200-300g and assuming an average weight of 250g
the total annual availability of areca sheath works out to be
0.14 million tons. Presently areca sheath is used for making plates/cups, fuel and composting

Usage
Areca sheath can totally replace paddy straw in total mixed rations in sheep and cattle. Areca sheath can
be used as sole roughage to an extent of 40-50% of the total mixed ration in dairy cattle rations. The
sheaths should be dried properly and chaffed before feeding. Fresh sheaths have a thin plastic like outer
layer which at times may cause impaction/indigestion in animals.

Sweet sorghum bagasse
Description
Sweet sorghum is being promoted as a multipurpose crop
and can be used for food, bio-fuel and fodder purpose.
Sweet sorghums have also been widely used for the
production of forage and silage for animal feed. The sweet
sorghum stalks, after harvesting grains are crushed to
extract the juice which is further processed to produce
ethanol that is used as bio-fuel. Sweet sorghum enjoys
several advantages over sugarcane or maize as feedstock for biofuel production. It requires only one half
of the water needed to grow maize and just one-eighth of that needed for a sugarcane crop. The
bagasse consisting of crushed stem with leaves is a potential fodder that can be used in ruminants.
Currently the bagasse is used for fuel and paper industry. The average yield of sorghum stalks and
bagasse under farmers field conditions is around 25 and 13 tons/hectare respectively

4.43± 0.4
8.0 ± 0.34
Usage
Sweet sorghum fodder is highly relished by animals due to its high sugar content. It can be used as green
fodder or silage and similarly the bagasse can be fed on fresh basis, converted into silage or can be dried
and used as dry fodder. Sweet sorghum or its bagasse can be used as sole roughage in ruminant diets
and is comparable or slightly superior to conventional sorghum fodder or stover.

Production & Demand of Milk in India by 2021-22
Considering the future growth in annual income & the
growth in human population, it is estimated that the
demand for milk would be around 210 million tons in
2021-22.
To reach this level of production, annual milk
production would need to be 7.0 million tons, as
against 3.7 million tons.
It would be desirable to meet future demand of milk
with the existing population base & feed resources.
It should be possible to achieve that by improving the
milk production efficiency.

Use of Available Feed Resources
• Compound cattle feed production.
• Use of feed resources according to their
availability & traditional feeding practices.
Use of Available Feed Resources
• Very little use of mineral mixture.
• Significant part of crop residues is wasted
in the field itself.
• Very low yield of green fodder per hectare.
Suggestive Measures• Compound cattle feed production specific to requirement.
• Need to tap potential feed resources.
• Securing crop residues from the farmers field & their
storage in the form of enriched & densified blocks/pellets
in the surplus areas.
• Various measures for green fodder production
enhancement:
– Use of quality seeds of high yielding varieties/hybrids fodder crops.
– Follow recommended agronomical practices of cultivation & suitable
crop rotation.
– Select short duration fodder crops.
• Ration balancing advisory services at milk producers

Distillers grains in ruminant diets
Corn co-products:
primarily as a source of dietary protein in feedlot diets
at high levels of grain replacement, fat & fibre contribute meaningful
amounts of energy).
WDGS has a feeding value 30–40% > maize at 10–40% of diet DM.
Distillers grains are an excellent supplement for cattle on high-forage diets
(because: high energy, protein and P contents).
Reduced rumen degradability of crude protein and increased un-degraded protein
increase.
Maximum recommended levels of DG with solubles (on DM Basis):
pre-weaned calves 25%
growing heifers 30%
dry cows 15%
lactating dairy cows 20%
• Growing pigs (2-3 wks after weaning): 30% of corn
DDGS
• Gestating sows: 50% of DDGS.
• Lactating sows: 30 % DDGS
• With finishers: Necessary to withdraw DDGS 3 to 4
wks before slaughter
(because high amount of PUFA in the corn oil
-- reduce pork fat quality)
• Laying hens: DDGS (~15%)
• Broilers :>10% wheat DDGS reduce performance
--NSP degrading enzymes needed to overcome adverse
effects
Distillers grains in pigs and poultry diets
Safety issues
Contamination resulting from the process: excess mycotoxins, antibiotics,
pesticides, harmful bacteria (shedding of E. coli 0157:H7 in beeflot cattle),.
Oil present in DDGS (maize oil has high PUFA) -- if oxidised, produce toxic
aldehydes -- affecting pig health and performance, and meat quality.
At high levels of S (0.47%) it inhibits oxidative processes in nervous tissue –
leading to Polioencephalomalacia.
(Distillers grains may be high in S (0.5–1.7 percent, DM basis)
High S may decrease bio-availability of selenium and vitamin E
Bioethanol co-products – Vinasses
• Vinasse is produced from cassava, sugar cane, sweet potato, and sweet
sorghum.
• Vinasse: preparation of multi-nutrient blocks – increase nutrient utilization
& productivity of animals on low quality roughage diets
Multi-nutrient blocks
Bioethanol co-products – baggase
• Sugarcane bagasse – mainly contains cellulose and hemicellulose --
degradability in the rumen is very poor.
• High levels of lignin, low levels of soluble carbohydrates and nitrogen -- not an
attractive feed.
• Feeding of sugarcane and sorghum bagasse -- unsuccessful economically –
Use as a fuel.

Biodiesel co-products – Fatty acid distillate
• Fatty acid distillate: good source of energy.
• Fatty acids distillate reacted with calcium oxide to develop a
rumen-protected fat --- an effective way to protect fatty acids
against ruminal biohydrogenation
• Augment the oleic, linoleic, α-linolenic and stearic acid content
in the milk of dairy cows and reduce that of palmitic acid.
Biodiesel co-products – Glycerol in ruminant diets
• Glycerol: 15% of the diet (recommended inclusion)
• In dairy cow diets as an energy source (often shortly
after calving)
• or as a preventative for ketosis.
• In beef cattle, feed value of glycerine is greatest at < 10%.
• Glycerine (similar to starch) has a deleterious effect on
fibre digestion on high-grain diets.

Biodiesel co-products – Camelina sativa meal
Crude protein: 36-40% (rich in EAA including lys & meth)

When compared to control birds fed a corn-soy diet:
• 8-10 fold increase in total omega-3 fatty acids and α-linolenic acid
• Omega-6: omega-3 fatty acid ratio in eggs -- Decreased
Two large eggs from hens fed Camelina meal: provides over
300 mg omega-3 fatty acids to the human diet.
Camelina sativa or false flax - the Brassica (Cruciferae) family
Knowledge gaps and future research needs
Need for standardisation of products from within a
plant and between plants
Co-product feeding value – especially aquaculture
Search for new feedstocks, particularly those
indigenous to an area and underutilized
Safety standards for use of co-products (including
detoxification of seed meals where necessary)
FAO document: Biofuel co-products as livestock feed - Opportunities and challenges
http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3009e/i3009e.pdf
Converts energy source fed stocks to protein-rich feeds
Enlarged feed resource base through the use of co-products
as livestock feed
Enhanced future availability of some novel feed resources
Ongoing research on identification and production of novel
enzymes -- spillover beneficial effects for the crop residue
utilization
Gains to livestock industry from biofuel industry?
“ An array of co-products of the bio-fuel industry
are available, which are good source of protein
and energy and can replace soymeal and cereals
such as maize in animal diets -- easing food-feed
competition”

Estimates of feed ingredients availability
• Crop residues:– Most is used for feed, some retained in field, burned or unused
• Oil seed cake/meal:– Soybean meal (SBM) all are imported– PKC: in 2012 exported 3.6 mill tonnes and domestic used 284
thousand tonnes – Coconut meal: 80% exported; 20% imported– Peanut meal: all for human consumption
• Grain by-products:– Rice bran: almost all used as feed; in 2012 imported 211,160
tonnes; hull: 1.5% used as feed– Corn: hominy and corn gluten feed 105,000 tonnes in 2012
Estimates of feed ingredients availability (continued)
– Wheat: in 2012 imported 8.5 mill tonnes; wheat pollard & bran 2.6 mill tonnes, wheat sort 0.43 mill tonnes
• Grains:– Rice: almost all for human consumption; broken rice used
to be as feed but not now– Corn: about 22% of corn production data (CBS) used as
feed; corn imports varies from thousands to millions tonnes per years
– Soybean: all for human consumption
• Roots, tubers & their by-product:– Cassava: 2012 production 24 mill tonnes, 2 mill tonnes
used for feed (100,000 tonnes fed as fresh cassava) – Sweet potatoes: limited use as feed

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Indonesia has abundance of feed ingredient resources but some efforts have to put in place to speed up and meet the high demand of feed ingredients both from modern large-scale feed manufacturers and medium and small-scale feed processors. The GOI has responded to the situation by launching programs to improve quality, increase quantity and reduce prices of feed and feed ingredients.
Although Java island is only 7% of the total land area of Indonesia, current production of food crops and horticulture, their residues and by-products produced more than 50% in this most populated areas. Currently, intensive production systems are suitable in Java and most of livestock and poultry industry are located in Java but future expansion of livestock and poultry production is in outer islands due to availability of huge land areas.
Seasons have a significant effect on the level of production of feed ingredients. Of the total food crop production (rice, corn, soybean, peanut and mung bean) from 2010 to 2012, 46% was produced during January to April, 32% in May-August and 22% in September to December. Food crop production in September to December is only about half of the production in January to April.

3
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION (continued)
In 2011, the main feed ingredients which are available in Indonesia were 593.4 million ton and the five majors sources are: native grasses 210.3 million ton (34.4% of the total production) estate crop by-products 131.6 million ton (22.2%) grains 85.3 million ton (14.4%) crop residues 61.7 million ton (10.4%) legume forages 40.9 million ton (6.9%)
For ruminants, three regions have been choosen to represent feeding systems in Indonesia: Java respresents a densely populated humand and ruminants with more
intensive cropping, heavy vegetations and more rainfall. East and West Nusa Tenggara represent a drier part of Indonesia with
extensive and semi-intensive production. South Sulawesi represents a more moderate agro-ecological zones with
less rainfall than Java but higher than Nusa Tenggara.
Commercial and intensive poultry and pig are raised in intensive and industrial production systems. Feeding systems for these animals are not influenced by agro-ecological zones and regions.

6
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION (continued)
The main factors that determine the use of feed ingredient are their availability all year round, quality that meets the demand of feed industry and competitive prices.
The government programs to increase the availability of locally produced feed ingredients include provision of equipment for farmer groups to increase the availability of local feed ingredients and trainings. In the eastern part of Indonesia, the GOI rejuvenates native pastures to increase the availability of grasses and legumes particularly during hot and long dry seasons.
A more comprehensive and sistimatically survey at nation-wide level has to be conducted to collect more and up to date information on the availability of feed ingredients and feeding systems in Indonesia. Expertise and funding from international donors such as FAO, ADB, IFAD, World Bank are needed to improve the state-of-the-art of feed and feeding in Indonesia.

Livestock production in Lao PDR is characterized almost
extensively by smallholder production
In lowland areas buffaloes and cattle are raising primarily as draft
animals for plowing, for other farm activities, transportation,
saving bank when necessary, and as a source of fertilizers.
80% of the population in the provinces are smallholders, 48% have
buffaloes, 31% cattle, 49% pigs and 73% poultry, which are
farmed using low cost production technologies based on common
pastures, agricultural residues and family labor with no specific
feed provision.
Some groups characteristically raise large ruminants or goats
integrated into their shifting cultivation activity.
Almost all animals are free-range, scavenging animals within a
low input - low output system.

- Over 90% of all livestock is produced by smallholders,
while large intensive commercial enterprises are few in
number, most producing pigs and poultry and located close
to major urban markets.
- There is trend to more towards industrial farming using
imported hybrids in peri-urban: mainly layers, broilers, pigs,
exotic sex-reversed fish but still limited by many factors.
- Most of these agribusinesses are small cottage industries
with few employees
- In general, production costs tend to be high since semi-
intensive pig and poultry production is dependent on
concentrate feed which, in many cases, is imported from
Thailand
GENERAL OUTLOOK ON LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY IN LAOS
Livestock Feeding system:
For Buffalo, Cattle, Goat and sheep
Ways of feeding managing animals have evolved in response
to the predominant cropping system and available feed
resources. Meaning that fallow cropland, communal area along
the roads, rivers, around the paddy fields and villages,
secondary forest, an other non cropped communal land and by
crop products including rice straw.
Smallholder farmers operate mixed farming systems, growing
both crops and farming animals.
In the lowland area for the most of the year cattle and
buffaloes are usually grazed on the vacant cropping field,
utilizing rice stubble, re-growth of rice after harvest, grasses
and weeds growing in and around rice fields and rice straw

Livestock Feeding system (cont.)
For Buffalo, Cattle, Goat and sheep
The management system tends to be extensive with animals
being allowed to graze and mix freely in sometime large herds.
Providing salt or mineral block is commonly used to entice
animals back to the pens.
During the wet season when farmer cultivate their rice field,
animals are grazed in upland, grazing and secondary forest
areas way from rice field in order to ovoid the damage to the
crops; buffaloes are kept near the rice field for land preparation
and fed them by supplementary grass and rice bran to ensure
their health condition

Livestock Feeding system(cont.)For pigs production:
Upland systems: invariably with local black pigs fed on home
prepared feeds and foraging. Feed is usually is base on root
crops of cassava/artichoke with maize grain and sometimes
alcohol production residues with vegetable material.
Intensive Systems: Modern intensive production systems have
developed especially near to main urban centers. Many of
these systems depend on commercial feeds compounded I Laos
or imported from abroad countries.
Integrated Alcohol and pig production intensive systems: This
lowland systems and also in maize growing area along the
Mekong River. Feeding systems are based on the use of
fermentation residues after distillation to produce alcohol. The
feeds are frequently made with addition of some commercial
pig concentrate mixture and vegetable. 18

Livestock Feeding system:For Poultry Production:
Commercial Broiler systems are in operation near to major
urban centers including Vientaine, Thakhek and Savannakhet.
These systems are depend on commercial feed either from Lao
feed ( CP) in Vientiane or feeds from Thailand.
Semi-intensive Poultry and Egg production systems:
insufficient data has been gathered by the project to assess the
profitability of dual-purpose egg production/meat production
systems whether intensive or semi-intensive.
Commercial Egg Production: Feed for layers and for growth
and development of layers represent a little over 50% of sales
of mixed feeds manufactured in Vientiane.

through backyard pasture establishment and a tree-strata-forage
system. Improved animal nutrition for ruminants through pasture
development like Mulato, quinea, Ruzzi, Gamba, Nepia, and Stylo
In the total areas is bout 8.500 ha.
3. Crop residues: rice straw, maize stovers, …
4. Raw materials
• local raw materials: Maize, Rice, Sorghum, Soy, Groud nut,
Cotton Meal/Cake, Ground nut Meal/Cake, Soy Meal/Cake,
Sesame Cake, Fishmeal, Oilseeds Meal/Cake, DDG ,
Molasse, Cereal Brans, Pulses, Cassava, Others.
• Import raw materials: , Soy Meal/Cake, Fishmeal and
Others ( Mineral Premix, Vitamin Premix).
In general smallholders traditionally have fed animals on freely
available forage resources, which have no value to smallholders
except as livestock feed. These include grasses, herbs, tree leaves
and legumes that can be used for feeding animals.
As livestock numbers and cropping area have increased these
once abundant feed resources have become increasingly limited.
Once the quantity and quality of available feed is limited toward
the end of dry season when all available feed resources have been
exhausted. Over -stocking and poor range management practices
cause seasonal shortage of good quality grass. Lack of control on
the burning of rangeland and pasture is very detrimental to
livestock nutrition
Technical constraints in livestock feeding system
The knowledge gap
To sets out the principles, technical standards,measures & methods related to the establishment, monitoring &control of livestock farms for effective
feed production, feed safety and environment friendly.
Understand and use the principle techniques to assess or estimate the
quantity and quality of the locally available in the provincial and district
area
Identify the types of feed or forage resources that can be used for livestock
production
Understand the principle of livestock production which relates to
nutritional requirements and their feeding systems
Develop a feed year planning to meet the feed requirement of existing
livestock population in their own provincial and district area
Understand the participatory approach in problem diagnosis and assessment
of community need for livestock development, and
Develop forage and other appropriate feeding technologies that may lead to
improve livestock productivity in their provincial and district area.

More than 70% feed raw materials imported especially for mono-gastric animal industries.
For ruminant industries – used forages and PKE
Since Malaysia area planted in big area of palm oil tree, agro waste from this industry used widely such as PKE, POME and oil farm frond
Some other agro waste used – paddy straw and rice bran
Malaysia doesn’t planting some other grain except rice.
Some other agriculture waste like sweet corn Stover and vegetable actually cannot be captured because under Agriculture Department.
For the grasses, legume tree and forages tree we have plenty, the problem is the quality of that forages is questionable.

Malaysia produces about 450,000MT compound feed per year
Most of complete feed produced in Malaysia , in pellet form due to demand from farmer
Malaysia Government policy in livestock industry - to transform the small farmers become semi commercial and commercial farmers.
Due that strategies the compound feed demand always high
Most of feed miller in Malaysia still under capacity and can produced any demand amount
71
The quantity of feed resources especially from agriculture waste like from sweet corn, sweet potato, cassava, vegetable, pineapple need to be captured precisely even though the volume is small
Well prediction of dynamics of animal population covering different stages of growth
The precise data of feed requirement from feeding system need to organized and established for better future livestock industries planning.
Continued preparation of feed inventory covering resource base, feeding systems for feed balance towards balance diet
MOA just agreed DVS suggestion to form National Animal Feed Council for finding solution in animal feed issues
The members of this Council are from varies agriculture agencies in Malaysia like DVS, DOF, DOA, MARDI, MOA, MADA, MPOB, National Pineapple Board and other agencies related with animal feed resources.
The Chairman will be Minister of Agriculture Malaysia This Council is a right platform to get precise information
for feed inventory and management for Malaysia
More than 70% Malaysia feed raw materials were imported
Importing more than 2 million MT corn and 1 million MT soya bean meal per year.
Producing 2.3 Million MT of PKE per year
PKE can be used 100% as feed to feed lot cattle and as main raw material for TMR for Dairy cattle
PKE as potential feed for poultry
Stabilized price of feed for farmers and consumer sake
Price of PKE in Malaysia need to be stabilized by government since it was produced locally
More aggressive R&D on PKE to ensure it can be used efficiently in mono-gastric animal
More encouragement from government for private sector to do reverse investment in corn planting at the neighboring country which suitable with low cost in production
Use National Animal Feed Council (Malaysia) as platform to solve any animal feed issues.

Livestock feeding by ecological zones
Main feeding system in Mongolia
Feeding system can be divided into two categories:
• Extensive production (grassland)
• summer feeding of native Mongolian breeds -
entirely based on grassland based feeding system
(GR-100);
• Winter feeding based on grassland + hay
• Semi-intensive or mixed /dairy cows mostly pure and cross breeds are kept in
summer/autumn under the grassland-crop residue based
feeding system/ winter
74
Challenges related to National Feed
inventory and possible solutions
Different data sources exist at different institutions,
however limited access to data sources (State
statistical office, Ministry gathers data through
surveys, Customers office, research institutions).
What needs to be done:
there is a need to establish systematic approach to
gather the data and database so that everybody can
have easy access;
revise methodologies according to demand to gather
data on animal feeds at the country level and agree
on unified approaches amongst main actors;
Challenges related to National Feed
inventory and possible solutions
Determine the main leading institution to
coordinate all aspects of National Feed Inventory;
in our case, Ministry of Agriculture and Industry
should lead the process;
Establish national task force responsible for
improving national feed inventory;
Improve linkages of institutions involved in data
gathering.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
1. Feed assessment and establishment of a national feed inventory is intimately linked with:
annual feed stock estimation,
feed and nutrition management,
stocking rate decisions,
feed resource management in response to seasonal fluctuations and natural disasters,
understanding of land use transformation,
environmental impacts of food animal production (e.g. GHGs).
2. Feeding system characterization is valuable for
efficient resource use (including non-conventional feeds),
improving productivity
3. Data are a key challenge in all countries: either data are not available or, in case of availability,
they are fragmented, scattered and not in the required format. In many countries access to data is
restricted.
4. Further development of the methods is foreseen to make them more flexible and to incorporate
country specificities.
5. This workshop is only a starting point of this type of work. It was is intended to provide
participants with a better understanding of the issues and methodological guidelines. The workshop
was an excellent base for sharing and gaining knowledge from each other.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Elaborating feed balances should be a continuous activity which is carried out at local, national,
and regional level (at least) annually.
2. Feed assessments should be institutionalized with national governments by identifying the key
national organization(s) and by FAO providing incentives and guidance.
3. Establishment of linkages among several institutions is recommended:
Feed mill association (can provide data especially for grains)
Ministries
Livestock and poultry associations
Breeding associations
Import export bureau
4. National feed assessment taskforces in each country may lead to institutionalize for long-term
sustainability of this work.
5. Need to operate under “coordinating center” which might be supported by FAO for the time being
that will develop a standard questionnaire for every country. Countries will fill the questionnaire
annually, and a model based on EXCEL can be developed to estimate the feed inventory in a
comparable manner in a dynamic way (time series).
83
6. Data should cover as many aspects as possible in order to allow for a comprehensive feed
inventory. Data should be collected from as many sources as possible to improve coverage and
enable consistency and plausibility checks. In case of limited/unreliable secondary data, surveys
should be conducted.
7. Applied conversion factors are major determinants of the feed assessment results. Hence,
agreement on a common approach for all countries, including the use of similar terminology, is
needed for:
Extraction factors;
Harvest indices;
Harvest losses;
Proportion of grain used as livestock feed.
For the estimation of conversion factors, it is also advisable either to collect data from secondary
sources or to conduct surveys. In case of new crop varieties, surveys are the priority option. All
estimations related with feed should be on Dry Matter basis.
8. Adult cattle units (ACU) should be replaced by actual nutrient requirements of different livestock
and poultry. It was request to India was requested to provide their feeding standard data.
9. Feeding systems from different agro-ecological zone are very important to characterize because
they determine the actual feeding practices of the farmers.
10. Participatory Feed Assessments (PFA) might be a way to generate primary data on feed
resources that can replace expensive surveys.
