Effect of feeding crop residues of different cereals and legumes on weight gain of Yankassa rams
Cowpea is important for the provision of both grain for food and fodder for livestock but there is often a trade-off between production of the two. To better understand influences on grain and fodder production, and how these may be utilized. Research was conducted at 5 locations in West Africa u...
