子供たちが水牛追い等の家畜の世話をしている場面もよく見かけます。家畜がいる田園はとても長閑です。(続く) 【Bon appétit !】 Farmers raise animals predominantly by traditional methods, and output per animal is not high in Lao PDR.
The animals are mainly indigenous and are kept mostly under free range conditions; they graze on natural grasslands, in paddy fields after the harvest, on fallow land and in the forest. Feed resources are inadequate, and diseases and parasites are serious constraints. The free range system means that there is often no selection of breeding animals.
