TL;DR: In this article, a participatory approach is proposed to join this assessment to a stimulation of innovation among stakeholders, which is divided in four stages: identification of actors and direct links along the VC, characterisation of innovation practices, identification of bottlenecks and opportunities using innovation system framework, and measurement of agreement among VC actors about constraints and value-added sharing, using proportional piling tool.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Delphi method to collect experts' opinions on stakeholders' involvement in breeding scheme design and found that a convergence of views is observed on this implication, despite a persisting divergence on the assigned roles and their relative importance.

TL;DR: The protocols and hormones used for estrus synchronization to facilitate artificial insemination are presented, and the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of semen are discussed.
Abstract: L’insemination artificielle est une technique de fecondation sans intervention directe du mâle, par depot de sperme dans les voies genitales de la femelle. Elle est utilisee pour la diffusion du progres genetique et permet a l’eleveur de gagner du temps dans l’exploitation. Elle est egalement un outil de controle des pathologies veneriennes de contact. Cet article fait le point des travaux realises en Afrique de l’Ouest sur l’insemination artificielle. Apres la presentation des techniques de collecte de sperme par espece, les caracteristiques macroscopiques et microscopiques du sperme sont abordees. Les dilueurs utilises pour la cryoconservation et la conservation a l’etat frais sont rapportes. Les protocoles et hormones utilises pour la synchronisation des chaleurs pour faciliter l’insemination artificielle sont ensuite presentes. Enfin, les resultats des inseminations artificielles sont presentes. L’insemination artificielle est plus pratiquee en elevage bovin. Les travaux realises sur les autres especes se sont limites aux caracteristiques du sperme. Pour une meilleure utilisation de cet outil, des efforts doivent etre poursuivis pour la production des doses de qualite chez les autres especes animales notamment les porcs et les volailles. Mots cles : Insemination artificielle, synchronisation de chaleurs, semence animale, dilueur English Title: State of animal artificial insemination in West African countries. A review Artificial insemination is a fertilization technique without direct male intervention, by depositing semen in the female's genital tract. It is used for the dissemination of genetic material and saves the farmer time on the farm. It is also use to control livestock veneral and contact diseases. After the presentation of semen collection techniques by species, the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of semen are discussed. Extenders used for cryopreservation and fresh preservation are reported. The protocols and hormones used for estrus synchronization to facilitate artificial insemination are then presented. Finally, the results of artificial insemination are presented. Artificial insemination is more practiced in cattle breeding. Work on other species was limited to sperm characteristics. In order to make better use of this tool, efforts must be continued for the production of quality doses in other animal species including pigs and poultry. Keywords : artificial insemination, estrus synchronization, animal semen, extender

TL;DR: Pour conclure, les éleveurs disposaient de bons critères de choix and de réforme des reproducteurs qu’il faudrait améliorer afin d’augmenter leur productivité.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the selection and culling criteria for breeding pigs in Benin. A survey was carried out among 65 pig farms. The correspondence factor analysis was used to identify farmers’ groups based on their practices at animal sex level. Group 1 consisted mostly of unschooled farmers mainly rearing free-range local-breed pigs. Group 2 farmers had primary or secondary education. Group 3 was composed of unschooled farmers or farmers with secondary education. The pig farmers of groups 2 and 3 used improved breeds and crossbreeds in confinement. The main criteria for male selection in farms were health status, conformation and highly developed testes, number of teats, absence of genetic defects and growth. The absence of genetic defects was more used in groups 2 and 3, and developed testes in group 1. The main criteria for sow selection in the three groups were health status, litter size, kinship and growth. Most of these criteria were less used in group 1. The most used criteria for boar culling were age and loss of libido. The main culling criteria for older sows in all groups were parity and decrease in litter size. The latter was more used in groups 2 and 3. To conclude, breeders had good criteria for breeding selection and reform that should be improved in order to increase productivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study has been carried out so far regarding occurence of different parasitic diseases in camels in different geographical regions and their impact on economy of the farmers.
Abstract: Camel is a very hardy animal and well adapted anatomically as well as physiologically to harsh climatic conditions of desert Neverthless, it suffers from various endo and ecto-parasitic diseases which are major constraints in improvement of camel health. These diseases cause substantial economic losses in terms of decrease in working capacity, growth and productivity. With the introduction of sedentary, semiintensive systems of camel farming, parasite may assume much more significant role in camel husbandry. In India no systematic study has been carried out so far regarding occurence of different parasitic diseases in camels in different geographical regions and their impact on economy of the farmers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of value chain analysis and development guides for smallholder-based value chains, and compare the concepts, objectives, and methods and identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.
Abstract: This chapter reviews 11 guides for value-chain analysis and development. It compares the guides’ concepts, objectives, and methods and identifies strengths, weaknesses, and gaps. The assessment characterizes the state of the art for designing interventions and interactions that seek to build value chains with smallholders. The chapter is organized as follows: presents the methodology applied in carrying out the review, the following section presents the results of this review, and the final section provides concluding comments.
