Livestock production and health

A major focus of RIU's work is looking at new and improved approaches to livestock production and health at various points along livestock value chains - from production, through storage, processing and marketing, to consumption.

The RIU experiment includes looking at innovative ways of enabling livestock research to be put into use. In each of the RIU programme sections there is a description of how this is being done.
