Description Not Available
Small ruminants (sheep and goats) represent a significant part
of the global livestock industry, majority (1.7 billion, ~80%) of
which exists are in Asia and Africa, the two regions with highest
concentration (~73%) of the poor people in the world [1]. Small
ruminants are principally maintained by the poorer sections of the
rural community for nutrition, livelihoods, economic development
and for emergency requirement (against crop failure) to buy food
and as cover for other expenses. In order to meet the global demand
for meat and dairy products, livestock and livestock products have to
increase significantly to keep pace with markets, this would be difficult
to achieve if livestock-producing countries continue to suffer from a
disease like Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), which has devastating
effect on livestock productivity, producibility and sustainability
