Bétail
Dans les pays qui subissent une forte pression démographique, il y a rarement assez de terres pour les pâturages ou pour les cultures destinées spécifiquement à l'élevage. Dans de nombreux cas, la nourriture du bétail provient de résidus agricoles disponibles localement et du fourrage mature récupéré, qui est généralement déficient en minéraux, en énergie et en protéines. Les animaux dans ces situations ne sont pas principalement des producteurs, mais plutôt sont utilisés comme : assurance, capital mobile, source de carburant, traction, usine d'engrais et symboles de statut. Des recherches peu sophistiquées mais scientifiquement fondées ont été menées dans des pays en développement, principalement sur des exploitations agricoles, au cours des dernières décennies, dans le but d'optimiser la production de ces animaux à partir des ressources locales.
