Livestock Production: Recent Trends, Future Prospects
The livestock sector globally is highly dynamic. In developing countries, it is evolving in response
to rapidly increasing demand for livestock products. In developed countries, demand for livestock
products is stagnating, while many production systems are increasing their efficiency and environmental
sustainability.
Historical changes in the demand for livestock products have been largely
driven by human population growth, income growth and urbanization and the production response
in different livestock systems has been associated with science and technology as well as increases in
animal numbers.
In the future, production will increasingly be affected by competition for natural
resources, particularly land and water, competition between food and feed and by the need to
operate in a carbon-constrained economy. Developments in breeding, nutrition and animal
health will continue to contribute to increasing potential production and further efficiency and
genetic gains. Livestock production is likely to be increasingly affected by carbon constraints and
environmental and animal welfare legislation. Demand for livestock products in the future could
be heavily moderated by socio-economic factors such as human health concerns and changing
socio-cultural values.
There is considerable uncertainty as to how these factors will play out in
different regions of the world in the coming decades.
