Summary The International Workshop on Geographical Information System Applications in Animal

Production and Health, hosted by the Philippine Bureau of Animal Industry's Environmental

Animal Health Management Initiative and the Information and Communication Technology

Unit and the Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia and the Pacific, was held at

the Regional Centre for Educational Innovation and Technology, Commonwealth Avenue,

Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, 3-7 March 2008.

Representatives from fourteen APHCA member states participated in the workshop: Bhutan,

India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New

Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Six of the ten members of the

Association for South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) were represented: Indonesia, Lao PDR,

Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, and Thailand.

Reflecting the generally perceived status of GIS usage in animal production and health

services in APHCA countries, the great majority participants (12/14) had had little, or no

prior, experience of using Geographical Information System software and classified

themselves as novices. Most participants (9/14) indicated that the workshop had been “Very

Useful”; two thought it had been “Useful”; and one commented that it had “not been as useful

as expected”.

All participants were sensitised to the importance of information communication technology

and geomatics in the twenty-first century, and were unanimous that further institutional

strengthening, capacity building and collaborative networking were required to demonstrate

and promote GIS use in animal production and health throughout the APHCA region.

General consensus was reached that upon returning home, participants should seek to

establish collaborative links between their own departments/agencies and others, such as:

agriculture; forestry; water resources; land use management; and environment; in order to

avoid reinventing the wheel and share existing institutional skills and knowledge.

It was recommended that APHCA should review options available for facilitating such

national and sub-regional initiatives, and consider the possibility of hosting an Animal

Production and Health GIS user’s website/page to facilitate regional capacity building,

institutional collaboration and use of standardised datasets of animal resource distributions

and environmental conditions.

Background The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has a global mandate to:

“raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural

populations and contribute to the growth of the world economy.” To achieve these goals,

FAO undertakes a broad range of activities relating to: making agricultural information and

knowledge accessible to the world community; sharing that knowledge and policy expertise;

applying that knowledge and expertise; and providing a forum for discussion.

FAO’s Animal Production and Health Division promotes and facilitates informed decision

making on the challenges facing the livestock sector, particularly those of developing and

emerging economies, and promotes enhanced smallholder animal production, through better

management, greater productivity and environmental awareness and mitigation of adverse

impacts.

Use of GIS and remotely sensing satellite imagery facilitates a multi-dimensional approach to

disease management and enables the visualization of information in unparalleled detail -

allowing the observer to fly through landscapes and “see” local clusters of past disease

outbreaks, recognize habitats of potential disease risk and identify hotspots of animal

concentration, and areas and agro-ecological conditions for potential disease outbreaks. GIS

also facilitates the depiction, analysis and better understanding of the complex interactions

between livestock-agriculture and the multi-dimensional problem of poverty, which can not

viewed independently from external factors, such as food production, fuel, water, human

health and markets.

Following the 31st Session of the Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia,

Chiang Mai, Thailand, 29 October - 2 November 2007, at which a presentation on

Environmental Animal Health Management and GIS applications in animal production and

health in the Philippines was presented and a formal proposal for a workshop was tabled by

the Philippine Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), it was agreed that a joint international

workshop should hosted by BAI and APHCA in early 2008.

This document presents a summary of workshop proceedings. All presentations made during

the workshop by resource persons and participants were recorded on CD ROM (contents

shown in Figure 4), and given to participants before departure, together with a DVD

containing a series of global, public domain, datasets, as indicated in Figure 5.

Summary of Responses to Workshop Feedback Questionnaire

Country What follow up activities are required to promote GIS use in animal production

and health in your own country? How can we build on the achievements of this

workshop?

Bhutan Follow up training for potential GIS technicians for at least one month.

Prepare indicative list of things required to set up a GIS unit in our Department.

India A more detailed training (preferably one month) on GIS would be very welcome.

Assistance in coordinating with other relevant organizations like the National

Remote Sensing Agency, GIS units in other Ministries etc.

Indonesia Create animal health reports using GIS as examples of best practice in animal health

and production.

Demonstrate importance of GIS in processing and analyzing multivariate data

relating to farming system, environment and animal production.

Useful for displaying information to stakeholders, policy advisers and decision

makers.

Develop training applications for provincial and district livestock services.

Lao PDR In our country, many activities are required to promote GIS use in animal production

and health. We get basic training in GIS use. After we return to our country, we try

to apply GIS.

Malaysia 1. Give presentation on GIS applications in animal production and health during

management meeting.

2. Make improvement data management, especially in state veterinary officer level

and regional veterinary diagnostic laboratory.

3. Give training to all personal staff in all district level about GIS.

All presentations were good and the main objective of the workshop (giving basic

knowledge of GIS applications) was achieved; but more time for practical exercises

in using GIS and GPS would have been useful.

Mongolia I think there are many problems to use a GIS. Big problems are budget shortage and

bad cooperation with other related organizations.

We have to set up the budget for GIS for next year budget. We must build a good

and official relationship with related organizations.

Myanmar Many, many follow up activities are required to promote GIS use in animal

production and health in my country. I got basic GIS use from this workshop. When

I go back home, I try to use and to apply GIS and build on the achievements of this

workshop. I am very interesting in this subject.

Nepal Mostly our reporting system is guided by the requirements of national and

international organizations. There has been use of GIS to a certain extent

(preliminary level) in epidemiological reporting of animal diseases, targeting

beneficiary group and assessment of suitability based on agro-climatic and other bio-

physical environment. The following follow-up activities would be very useful:

Workshop participants should be assigned to prepare follow-up plan;

Provide guidance and share successful experiences through emails or other suitable means (remain in network of the participants to be facilitated by the FAO

- 13 -

APHCA;

Organize follow up workshop for experience sharing (application of different software) in new areas for updating skills for few more years. FAO-APHCA

could play lead role as many countries in the region are having one or other

project in animal health/ livestock development (for e.g. HPAI control projects,

TADs projects and so on).

Institutionalization of efforts of the project, such as EAHMI should be given

priority by the APHCA member countries. Since this workshop has successfully

shown that how GIS could be used, follow-up trainings should be organized. For

retaining expertise, to have institutional memory and sustainability of the effort

APHCA member countries to set up GIS units at the departmental or project

level.

Pakistan Instigation of livestock and disease information system with GIS software, FAO can

build capacity to upgrade the information system by providing server and GIS

software, such as ARC GIS 9.x.

Samoa Not as useful as I expected it to be. I had a good appreciation of how GIS can be

used before I came to the workshop so I thought that there were too many

presentations on how GIS is being used where we could have focused more on how

to use GIS.

Sri Lanka Since I am responsible for an on going GIS project in my country, I am going to use

the knowledge and skills from this workshop to improve the disease information

system in Sri Lanka.

So another, short term training on practical use of GIS in another country other than

Philippine would be very useful to know what they do. For that we can bring the

problems we have encountered in implementing GIS, and our progress.

FAO can ask for a progress report from each participant every three months to

evaluate the progress and application of GIS in their respective countries and publish

them for the benefit of other participants too.

Thailand Further training on basic principles and more advanced GIS use in animal production

and health.

That everyone can practice and get some sample output.

Training on spatial analysis in animal production and health.

- 14 -

Country As livestock production and health data are difficult to obtain and GIS requires

such data, do you think that development of GIS capacity would be an effective

driver to improve data gathering?

Bhutan Yes, it would be a very useful exercise as GIS will allow systematic compilation and

analysis of data collected from the field.

India No, but as far as our country is concerned, we have a rather systematic and regular

collection, compilation and dissemination of statistical data.

However, applications of GIS would be very useful in application of the data and as

decision support tool for advisers and policy makers.

Indonesia Yes, I think we could use GIS for planning, targeting and data collection activities.

Develop simple, geo-referenced, information reporting system. GPS training needed.

Strengthen collaborative links between Directorate of Animal Health and Directorate

General of Livestock Services and other stakeholders, including private sector.

Lao PDR Yes.

Malaysia Yes. Currently all data in animal production and health at second 3rd

level

administrative boundaries. By using the GIS, the data with GPS will request until the

5th

level administrative level from state veterinary officer and Regional Veterinary

Diagnostic Laboratories.

Mongolia Yes. Particularly if it used and internationally required and recognized.

Myanmar Yes.

Nepal Utilizing data that are already available from national agencies (in many countries

available data are also not fully used).

Reorienting data gathering, such as sample survey and national census to be carried

out by the national statistics agency to be made more the user friendly. As different

government and non-government agencies are nowadays applying GIS, base maps

and data have to be more reliable and timely. Improving data gathering for GIS

purposes could be improved through capacity building on GIS.

Pakistan Those countries that do not have an animal health information system in place

should start this activity at regional level as a pilot activity and should use GIS as a

tool for integrating data.

Samoa Presentation of the applications of GIS in animal production & health to

management; get GIS resources (especially base maps from other organizations who

are currently using GIS); get funding to bring in GIS staff to the Ministry of

Agriculture; get more training on GIS. Consult with local GIS “experts” in other

departments/organizations in Samoa to assist our office with using the technology,

be able to get assistance from FAO via email/web on GIS matters.

Sri Lanka Definitely. GIS can improve the data gathering more quickly and efficiently.

Historical data can also be incorporated in database.

Thailand Yes, the outputs and uses of GIS will challenge people to realize the important of

livestock production and health data and please to do it.

However, the way that they input the data or the application could not be too

complex or too difficult to use it.

And they could have some feedback from the data, or they can use the data to help

improve their work

- 15 -

Country How would GIS assist you in understanding the livestock environment

interactions? (Livestock environment interaction includes animal agricultural

systems and the environment, issues on animal production systems approaches and

tools for analysis).

Bhutan In understanding how livestock production impacts on the environment and vice

versa.

India It would help in better understanding the environment and suitability of the area for

animal rearing, grazing etc. It would also signal risks involved.

Indonesia GIS helps to place animal production and disease data in a general environmental

context. Makes it easier to compare disease distributions and environmental

conditions. GIS can assist in risk mapping and modeling.

Lao PDR Environment, issues on animal production systems approaches and tools for analysis.

Malaysia 1. As a tool to determine the suitability of areas for livestock farming for example:

a) Pig farming should be far away (more than 2km) from residential house, water

source (river), buffer area (10 meter).

b) Poultry farm (buffer area 10 meter), from residential house (2 km).

Mongolia GIS will help us to gather data from related organizations and build a database of

animal health and production including environment. Because we don’t have such

data except animal health.

Myanmar GIS will assist me in to better understand livestock environment interactions; can

assist in mapping livestock census data; and identify areas with highest animal

population density and potential impact on the environment.

Nepal GIS as a planning and analysis tool allows us to consider different variables at the

same time, their geographical locations, suitability and severity. GIS also allows us

to see in colorful maps the interactions of factors/ constraints / variables and move

back and forth, verification etc. Through modeling, from known interactions,

predictions or forecasts could be made. Various bio-physical, socio-cultural and

socio-economic interactions could be analyzed through intersections and unions and

other powerful facilities available in GIS software.

Pakistan Data is more presentable and understandable in GIS mode for policy planning in

different regions of the country.

Samoa Could see clearly where livestock are concentrated / how they are geographically

distributed, significant environmental features like rivers /wetlands etc and where

these are in relation to livestock farming areas and even cropping areas, where

access to farms is difficult and where it is easy. Mountainous /hilly, lava covered

areas that constrain farming of some livestock.

Sri Lana In our country new livestock projects are becoming popular, due to the scarcity of

lands and other factors.

Environmental pollution has become a major problem, especially with swine farms

and poultry.

So large scale integrators can select suitable areas for maximum production

safeguarding the environment.

Thailand It helps me view and compare many environmental layers together and present more

understandable outputs, which are easier to interpret.
