      abstract = {The Thai livestock industry has experienced significant  change over the last two decades in its cattle/buffalo,  pigs and poultry sectors. Increasing human population and  income levels, political and technological change in  Thailand have meant changes in the traditional roles of  livestock within the Thai village economy and have caused a  heightened demand amongst Thai consumers for livestock  products such as meat and milk. These changing  socio-economic conditions in Thailand have seen the poultry  sector achieve internationally competitive status, and more  recently expanding commercial development of the cattle and  pork industries. Technological advances in Thailand however  have resulted in substantial decline in buffalo numbers as  draught power has become increasingly mechanised. In order  for Thailand's livestock sector to meet growing domestic  and international demand, it is essential that issues such  as disease control in livestock are successfully  addressed.},
