Sustainable livestock production: A systematic review of different constraints associated with sustainable livestock production

Abstract

Agriculture in general and ranches contribute significantly to the sustainability of poor and marginalized farmers. To meet the future requirements of an increasing population, animal productivity must be significantly increased. Animal production is increasingly influenced by a variety of external factors. This includes increasing demand for animal products and an inadequate supply of feed ingredients due to competition in natural resources and trade barriers. At the same time, there is growing concern about livestock and its health consequences. Optimization of the productivity and effectiveness within such restrictions, as well as profit maximization for all stakeholders, are important goals. Several indicators show that animal production optimization is still potentially possible. New science and technologies seem to offer many opportunities for innovation in animal production. Animal productivity improvement has significant mitigation effects in both developed and developing countries. However, the extent of its impact also depends on factors such as the genetic potential of the animal and the introduction of management techniques. Acceptance by consumers and society is an important success factor. In summary, sustainable livestock is very important in livestock. This overview focuses on various issues and restrictions associated with sustainable livestock production.
