Green Practices Guideline for Livestock Sector

4 SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION: Encouraging sustainable consumption and production patterns is essential for advancing the circular economy in the livestock sector. Livestock operators can adopt sustainable livestock management practices, promote the use of certified feed and animal welfare standards, and explore ways to minimise resource consumption and waste generation during livestock operations. 5 INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY: Innovation and the adoption of advanced technologies play a significant role in the transition to a circular economy. Research and development efforts in Malaysia focus on sustainable livestock management practices, eco-friendly animal feed technologies, and the utilisation of livestock biomass for renewable energy. Collaborating with research institutions and industry partners facilitates the adoption of innovative solutions in the livestock sector. 6 COLLABORATION AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT: Collaboration among stakeholders is essential for the successful implementation of a circular economy in the livestock sector. Livestock operators can engage with government agencies, livestock associations, local communities, and veterinary experts to foster partnerships, share knowledge and best practices, and promote sustainable livestock management initiatives. By embracing circular economy principles, the livestock sector in Malaysia can optimise resource utilisation, minimise waste generation, and promote sustainable practices throughout the livestock value chain. This transition will contribute to Malaysia’s climate goals, enhance the economic viability of the sector, and ensure the long-term resilience of livestock production systems. 21 GREEN PRACTICES GUIDELINE FOR LIVESTOCK SECTOR
