Associations among chemical properties, in vitro digestibility and ruminal degradability characteristics of herbaceous legumes, browse species and oilseed cakes were studied using correlation analysis based on a total of 50 feedstuff samples. Chemical properties were poorly related to in vitro or...

Livestock under holdings of low-resource producers in the tropics are faced with a variety of feeds that are qualitatively and quantitatively deficient in available nutrients. Emerging practices of hay-making and inter-cropping of cereal with legumes have improved feed quality, but the lack of ap...

In Ethiopia, the agricultural sector is a cornerstone of the economic and social life. The sector employs 80-85 per cent of the population and contributes 40 per cent to total GDP. Smallholder farmers dominate the agricultural sector. The highlands hold about 95 per cent of the cropped area and s...

The impact of drought can be governed by the timely and effective interventions of institutions. The challenge of drought needs strategic focus on three areas, viz, effective early warning system; coping mechanisms instituted in a timely manner; and recovery. Livestock early warning system theref...

The influence of man and his domestic animals has profoundly altered both the ecology and landscape of the Ethiopian highlands. Ecological degradation is one of the main challenges in this region. This paper highlights the state of the resource base, R&D investments and the scope to improve lives...

Five mathematical models were evaluated for their ability to describe ruminal degradability profiles of protein sources composed of herbaceous legumes, browse species and oilseed cakes. Degradability constants of dry matter, organic matter, nitrogen and neutral detergent fiber of the feeds were t...
