This study characterized the degradability of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and Dolichos lablab (Lablab purpureus) hays (trial 1) and the effect of these legumes on rumen ammonia concentration (RAC), particulate passage rate (K1) and intake (trial 2) and the degradability of teff (Eragrostis tef) st...

A study to determine carbon sequestration potentials and soil attributes was conducted in Borana rangelands of southern Ethiopia under communally grazed areas, grazing enclosures (rangelands enclosed for 20 years for dry season grazing) and rangelands managed by prescribed fire for more than five...

Soil organic carbon is a fundamental soil resource base. However, there is limited information on soil organic carbon storage due to influence of tillage type and soil texture under smallholder production systems in Ethiopia. The objective of this study was therefore to quantify soil organic carb...

Animal manure is rich in absorbable plant nutrients and an appropriate addition of manure into the soil respond to high crop productivity than use of commercial fertilizer. But volatilization of ammonia due to high temperature and leaching of nitrate, phosphorous and potassium into the soil due t...
