家畜
In countries experiencing intense population pressure, there is seldom enough land for pasture or for crops grown specifically for livestock. In many instances they are fed the locally available agricultural by-products and scavenged mature forage, which are usually deficient in minerals, energy and protein. Animals in these situations are not primarily producers but rather serve many purposes: insurance, mobile capital, a source of fuel, traction, a fertilizer factory, and status symbols. Unsophisticated but scientifically based research has been carried out in developing countries, primarily on farms, over the past few decades seeking to optimize the production of such animals from local resources.

This article is from ECHO Asia Note # 35. 如果想要实现您所拥有的农场或花园的可持续化，您能做到最好的一件事就是努力使其与一个小型家畜单元之间实现良好的共存和平衡。在本人所著的《热带可持续农业》一书中，家畜一体化是农业可持续发展的基础支持。如果您读过《ECHO 亚洲笔记》，您就很有可以更加容易的参与到农业和园艺工作之中。家畜不仅能够产出成本低且质量高的粪肥，同时还能产出用来食用或制造衣物的食物或材料。尽管科学家试图复制传统畜牧系统一体化的好处，但具体量化结果并不总是很容易的在现场试验中显示出来。

This article is from ECHO Asia Note # 31. 简介 令人惊奇的多重反刍动物形态多样，其营养需求也各不相同。反刍动物是反刍类亚纲（属偶蹄目）中偶蹄、四足和反嚼的哺乳动物。牛、水牛、山羊和牦牛是东南亚分布的一些反刍动物。 反刍动物能够在消化前借助有益微生物将植物性食物在其特殊的胃中发酵，再消化和获取营养（图 1）。在初步发酵后，将发酵的嚼团再次调味并再次咀嚼，重新咀嚼（进一步分解植物物质并刺激消化）的过程称为反刍。反刍动物产生的废料作为肥料是很好的价值，可以更好地生产他们摄取的饲料。农场应使用粪肥以保持土壤肥力。由于农场养分的循环利用，...

This article is from ECHO Asia Note # 37. 可持续农业最大的挑战之一就是如何将充足且价格实惠的有机资源（碳基）用于食物和饲料生产。利用堆肥、肥料、覆盖物和其他来自农业的有机投入本身就是一个挑战，而且每一种生产往往都需要自己特有的投入材料。有的材料在农业生产中常常是有直接竞争关系的，完全供应给土地小和劳动力少的农场是有挑战性的。例如，地膜可能与牲畜饲料直接竞争，因此在生产足够地膜的同时喂牲畜是一个挑战。使用同样的材料来制造堆肥或燃料就更有挑战性了。 在访问了该地区许多不同的小规模农场后，最成功的农场似乎都有一个共同的方法，那就是找出一种容易获得的有机...
