Project Information

A preliminary project proposal titled, "Developing Best Practice in Cattle and Buffalo Health and Husbandry Systems for Cambodia and Laos" was being prepared but before proceeding to Phase 2 of the proposal, the following items were required:

• Confirm that the key concepts and research issues, including economic drivers for enhancing large ruminant productivity, are captured;
  
• Define the role of ACIAR within the suite of current projects occurring in each country;
  
• Identify the key partners, personnel and preferred locations, and gain details for budgeting;
  
• Document ongoing research needs.
  

This research activity enabled two accompanied visits by the project leader to Cambodia and Laos and a preliminary attitudinal survey in target communities.
