Poor nutrition because of poor quality feeds and fluctuating feed supply is a major constraint to tropical livestock productivity. The need to supply greater quantities of quality fodder requires development of both new forages and feeding strategies that will enhance the efficiency with which co...

A collection of 74 perennial Panicum accessions, belonging to 6 different species, maintained at the field genebank of the International Livestock Research Institute, was described using 49 agromorphological characters in a multivariate analysis. Fifty-four accessions, for which coordinates of th...

This chapter reviews the extensive literature on the toxicity and nutritional effects of secondary plant compounds (SPC) in forages. It discusses results from the research on two forages, Sesbania sesban and Trifolium pratense (red clover), as a way of illustrating the effects of SPC on forage ev...
