Exploring approaches to research in the animal sciences in Vietnam

Enormous changes have occurred in Vietnam since 1990. The policy of liberalisation brought a shift to a market based economy and an injection of funds through loans, grants and investment. New ideas, possibilities and funding are receiving very positive responses from researchers in Vietnam, leading to the question of what types of agricultural research in Vietnam will provide the greatest benefits. These proceedings look at the animal sciences in Vietnam and include chapters on approaches to research, major farm animal species in Vietnam, species and disciplines, as well as systems, economics and management.
