Utilization of research results on forage and agricultural by-product materials as animal feed resources in Africa. Proceedings of the first joint workshop
Decreasing farm size and the opportunity to market livestock products has promoted the development of intensive production systems in East and souther Africa. This paper reviews the characteristics of the common feed resources used in small-scale intensive farming systems in eastern and southern ...
Africa's demand for food and Development means added pressure on natural resources that are already threatened. There is therefore, and urgent need for technical innovations that will raise productivity of livestosk and crops without causing further environmental degradation. But technical innova...
The Animal Production Systems Research (APSR) was introduced to sub-Saharan African National Agricultural Research Systems (NARs) in mid-1980's by the International Agricultural Research Centres (IARCs) and donors. APRS was accepted by NARs after realizing that the traditional on-station research...
This report is a synthesis of the workshop and covers the major constraints to improving livestock production ystems in the subregion (East and Southern Africa) and includes a set of recommendations for follow-up action. Discusses the changing agricultural systems in the region, livestock product...
