Abstract

The aim of this seminar was to provide a venue for specialists in livestock production, rangeland management, animal health, and animal production science to meet and discuss the current state of knowledge on the use of recent scientific advances in the small ruminants sector. The outcome was to orient the future research programmes, with the goal of developing grazing and/or feeding systems of sheep and goats that support the needs of society. Therefore, the seminar covered a wide range of topics that were allocated into three sessions and two round tables, which were: (i) Plant-animal interactions – implications for animal and landscape management; (ii) Rumen ecology and manipulation to improve small ruminant performance; (iii) Targeted feeding to improve performances of sheep and goats at different physiological stages; (iv) Strategies that use plant secondary compounds to improve the efficiency and profitability of small ruminant agriculture; and (v) Quality products of sheep and goats for human nutrition and health.
