The primary objective of creating this book was to develop a comprehensive and accessible guide for students, scholars, farmers, and entrepreneurs interested in integrated livestock farming systems (ILFS). This guide provides all the necessary information required to establish any size or type of ILFS unit.
The ILFS seeks to promote sustainable agriculture by integrating animal husbandry with other essential agricultural practices. This approach has the potential to make the enterprise profitable. This guide will enhance the knowledge and skills of farmers and entrepreneurs already involved in the ILFS model or those who wish to establish an ILFS model. Ultimately, this book aims to fulfill the needs of anyone who wishes to launch a thriving and profitable venture.
