Inadequate nutrition and helminthiasis were among the important constraints to smallscale dairy production identified in a 4-country survey among traditional dairy producers. Consequently, multi-locational trials to study helminth control and supplementary feeding to grazing cattle are being impl...

Dairy response to feed supplementation and helminth control in indigenous cattle in traditional systems in West Africa: A case study from Nigeria
As part of a research effort to develop technologies for smallholder dairy systems in peri-urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa, ILRI and collaborating national institutions have been testing feeding strategies based on forage legumes. Lablab purpureum is an introduced forage which is gaining accept...

Effects of date of harvesting of Lablab forage on milk offtake, milk quality, and liveweight changes in Bunaji cows when fed as supplement
Peri-urban dairy producers in West Africa face major production constraints including inadequate and poor quality feeds. In view of the high cost of traditional supplementary feeds such as oilseed cakes, the production of forage, especially legumes, is increasingly being advocated. However, it ha...
