The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) began operations on 1 January 1995. ILRI is one of 16 centres in a worldwide agricultural research network sponsored by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). ILRI conducts strategic research in the biological, animal and social sciences to improve livestock productivity in sustainable agricultural systems throughout the developing world.
The objectives of the institutes research programmes are to improve animal health, nutrition and productivity (milk, meat, traction) in ways that are sustainable over the long term, to characterise and conserve the genetic diversity of indigenous tropical forage species and livestock breeds, to promote sound and equitable national policies for animal agriculture and natural resource management, and to strengthen the animal husbandry research programmes of developing countries.
