4 II. OBJECTIVES 1) Capacity building of Extension workers and key farmers in the rice and livestock sectors by increasing understanding of global climate change, the sources of GHG emissions in livestock and rice production; 2) Management of GHG emissions from livestock and rice production and the reduction of environmental pollution to ensure hygiene and health for farmers and communities; 3) Efficiency improvement in agricultural production by saving energy costs through fuel production, enhancement of organic fertilizer sources; 4) Improvement of the material and spiritual life of local farmers; 5) Contribution of global climate change s mitigation. 4 FAS

CONTENTS AND RESULTS EC-LEDs in Livestock Production TOT training: organizing in Hanoi, Hue, Thai Binh and Can Tho Provinces Time: February,2013 and September 2014 Participants: including extension workers and farmers - Northern provinces: 60 participants from Hanoi, Hoa Binh, Bac Giang, Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc - Central provinces: 60 participants from 5 provinces of Hue, Da Nang, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Quang Nam Training in Hà Nội Training in Huế FAS

13 CONTENTS AND RESULTS In Livestock Production Livestock training in the reduction of greenhouse gas emission - Climate Change and Global Warming - Livestock Production and Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock enteric methane mitigation practices -Feeds and Feeding Management; Manure Management Practices -Straw treatment with urea and lime for feeding animals -Formation of feeding groups to apply low emission in Vietnam (prioritize) -Applying new feeding formula software in castle husbandry in different areas in Vietnam (Taurus Software of U.C David - US) (before carry out the Ec LEDs project: the farmers are concerning about benefit only) FAS

20 The total weigh gain of 10 cattle in the 4-month experiment is above 583 kg Develop Biogas tank for livestock waste handling to produce methane, using alternative cooking fuel benefit to farmers.. Economy Environ ment Minimize environmental pollution thank to limited ecological discharge of animal waste into the environment and indiscriminate burning straw. CH4 emission reductions... cost saving, antipollution, environmental protection. farmers learning, active, keen for mass replication in the commune and neighboring communes. Reserve straw, silage for feeding cattle, buying dried cassava to feed supplements for cattle. potential replicati on Society Technology transfer in the model: Farmers armed with modern farming techniques to reduce livestock GHG emissions Contributing to overcoming extreme events caused by climate change.

21 IV. Conclusions and Recommendations 1) 2643 households have been applying the AWD method and suitable fertilizing will reduce the GHG emissions in rice production. 2) Model of cattle production aiming at reducing GHG emissions showed efficiency through reducing emissions while maintaining and promoting economic efficiency in livestock. 924 farms have been applying with support from Gov fund. 3) The model has opened the way to using local feed resources and utilizing waste. 4) TAURUS software useful for animal feed and low emission in cattle husbandry. It will be expand to all provinces in Vietnam 5) The model has taken the simple technique, easy to apply, help farmers receive fast and capable of replication. This is the premise for livestock, economic, social and environmental development locally The Vietnam extension program should have policy and guidance on technical and economic norms for livestock production aiming at GHG emission reduction program to become a regular extension activities 21 FAS
