Abstract

Conclusions: This paper describes an international program for the improvement of animal production. The approach is essentially one of combining capital resources and technical skills to make more effective use of land, animals and man, in a coordinated effort to achieve economic development. The method described permits the immediate use of these interrelated basic resources, currently of low productivity, by providing man with the incentives and technology he requires to increase the productivity of both lands and animals, thereby increasing his profits and assisting in his country's economic development. In the business of development, hardheaded realism must be the guide. Neither a naive optimism nor a despondent Dessimism will do.

¹ Presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Animal Science, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, August 3 to 6, 1969, as part of a Symposium on International Programs for the Improvement of Animal Production.
