Technology Options

The toolbox contains over 30 pages describing separate types of technical interventions which can be adopted by livestock producers.

For each technical intervention, a description of the technique, together with some of the risks of its application and its impact on the environment is given, with some indication of how the system in which it is applied may affect the impact.

These pages can be accessed in response to questions on how to mitigate environmental risks identified in specific systems. They can also be accessed from the matrix of technology options. This entry point is designed to assist users who wish to understand the potential impacts of a proposed intervention, e.g. it could be used in assessing the environmental risks associated with a specific livestock development project. In orfer to facilitate this, the options are grouped on the basis of technologies with specific objectives such as increasing the quantity or quality of feed, maintaining or improving biodiversity or improving animal health.
