ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND HEALTH DIVISION (NSA)

NSA DIVISION

The NSA Division supports member countries to strengthen the contribution of the
livestock sector towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) – as animal rearing on farms can be particularly effective at reducing
hunger and poverty.

The Division endeavours to facilitate the participation of all livestock
producers – large and small – to grow the sector, especially in developing
countries.

OUR VISION

A world where the livestock sector sustainably contributes to the welfare of
people and conservation of natural resources. 

AREAS OF ACTIVITY

ANIMAL GENETICS

ANIMAL HEALTH

ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTS

Poultry Dairy

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE

FEED SAFETY

LIVESTOCK AND CLIMATE CHANGE

LIVESTOCK IN EMERGENCY

SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT

PASTORALIST

The Animal Production and Health Division’s work is carried out by the Office of
the Director, four technical service teams, staff in regional and country
offices, as well as with multi-stakeholders platforms and other groups, who
guide the livestock sector towards more socially, economically and
environmentally desirable outcomes.

Office of the Director

 * Administrative oversight of the Division's work.
 * Programme coordination

Contact: Mr Thanawat Tiensin, 
NSA Director

One Health and Disease Control Branch (NSAH)

Advances One Health principles for sustainable livestock transformation to
enhance efficient production and safeguard livelihoods, the food chain, trade,
and global health. The Branch develops evidence-based policies, provides
technical guidance, facilitates coordination and fosters collaboration at
global, regional, and national levels to prevent and control transboundary and
high-impact animal diseases, zoonoses, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in
agrifood systems — strengthening health system capacities, supporting emergency
response, and helping to reduce the burden of health threats.

Contact: Mr Thanawat Tiensin, 
NSA Director

Livestock Innovation, Climate and
Post-harvesting Branch (NSAL) 

Pioneers innovative, evidence-based solutions for livestock, climate change, and
environmental challenges. It spearheads efforts in data compilation,
harmonization, and management regarding livestock populations, greenhouse gas
emissions, environmental performance, and post-harvesting practices. Analyzing
sector trends across social, economic, and environmental dimensions, it develops
tools, policies, and guidelines for sustainable livestock transformation.

Contact: Mr Dominik Wisser
officer-in-charge

Sustainable Animal Production, Feed and Genetics Branch (NSAP)  

Focuses on contributing to the promotion and implementation of sustainable
practices in animal production, feed management, and animal genetics. The
Branch’s work aims to optimize the productivity and efficiency of livestock
systems while minimizing their environmental impacts. Key areas of focus include
sustainable animal production systems, improved feed management practices and
feed safety, advancing animal genetics and the management of genetic diversity,
promoting animal welfare and resilient pastoralism, and system analysis — to
enhance livestock production systems in an economically, socially and
environmentally sustainable manner.

Contact: Mr Badi Besbes, Chief

NSA MANDATE

 * Support countries to sustainably grow the livestock sector.
 * Ensure the availability of safe and quality animal products.
 * Promote inclusive and efficient livestock markets.
 * Enhance smallholders’ resilience and governments’ capacities to prevent and
   respond to livestock-related emergencies – whether caused by disease or
   natural disaster.
 * Promote best practices that maintain animal health, welfare and livestock
   productivity.
