Abstract

Livestock farming is a strategic industry and has very important potential for the further development of agribusiness. It plays an important role in providing protein food for most of the global population besides uplift the rural livelihoods and economies in many developing countries. As the populations and incomes grow, along with changes in food consumption patterns, the demand for livestock products is increase in demand rapidly. In agriculture aspect, livestock play significant role in the farmer’s economy. However, livestock production is a major global source of greenhouse gas emissions, and high livestock densities in certain areas can also cause local environmental problems. Therefore, future improvements in the global livestock sector can also be viewed as a potential opportunity to provide a significant portion of the needed mitigation of global warming and other environmental problems. Meanwhile, sustainable livestock farming is the important in protecting the environment besides improving the production. Knowledge of the sustainability performance of current animal husbandry systems can help formulate strategies for future systems. Herein, this paper aimed to gives an overview of practising livestock farming in a sustainable way which covers world livestock and Malaysia livestock sector, issues and problem encountered in livestock industry as well as sustainable livestock practices and strategies.
