The greatest numbers of domestic animals are raised in Asia. The Asian animal industry is characterized by the involvement of a high percentage of the population, mostly smallholders, of which 95 % rear domestic animals. In exploring the best ways to formulate sustainable society, it is essential to make the most of livestock products by applying appropriate reproductive technologies. There is no doubt that reproductive technologies such as AI and ET have made a great contribution to increase the number of excellent animals. Although more advanced cutting edge reproductive technologies have become available and some of them have indeed a potential of revolutionary changes in livestock industry, the most important problem for increasing productivity concerns the maintenance of optimum nutrition and prevention of heat stress to support reproductive performance and increased supply of animal proteins. International societies should be involved in binding together developed and newly developing countries in the construction of a novel model for future livestock rearing management that suits diverse environmental circumstances.
亚洲饲养的家畜数量最多。亚洲的动物产业以大量人口参与为特征，其中大部分是小农户，他们中有 95%养殖家畜。在探索制定可持续社会的最佳途径时，通过应用适当的繁殖技术，充分利用畜产品至关重要。毫无疑问，人工授精和胚胎移植等繁殖技术为增加优秀动物的数量做出了巨大贡献。虽然更先进的前沿繁殖技术已经出现，其中一些技术确实有可能给畜牧业带来革命性的变化，但提高生产力的最重要问题是保持最佳营养和预防热应激，以支持繁殖性能和增加动物蛋白质的供应。国际社会应参与将发达国家和新兴发展中国家凝聚在一起，为未来适合不同环境的畜牧业管理构建一个新的模式。
