Presents findings of a study carried out to determine differences between 24 sorghum varieties in digestibility of leaf and stem components and yield of stover. Emphasis is given to encourrage breeds involved in slelecting sorghum varieties for use on small farms where sorghum stover is an import...

Mixed crop-lvestock production system is the major agricultural production system in Ethiopia with a wide array of Development challenges and opportunities. One of the key challenge in improving the agricultural productivity of the system is feed scarcity and undernutrition. The major basal feed ...

Thirty-six crossbred cows were used in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement in a randomized block design to evaluate forages from two cropping systems (1 and 2) and feeding levels (ad libitum, (Level1)) or 80 percent of ad libitum (Level 2) on milk yield, live weight, and reproductive performance. Crops...

Wheat was planted at different altitudes in the Ethiopian highlands. Increased altitude led to a lower neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content and a higher in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of the leaf blades, leaf sheaths and stems. The varieties tested did not differ in NDF content, H...

The effects of two cropping systems (1 and 2) on grain and fodder yields and nutritive quality of the fodder were studied in a randomized complete block desgin experiment over a period of two cropping years. Crops and crop combinations in system 1 were oat-vetch, wheat-trifolium, teff straw, and ...

Out of 6.5 million tons of crop residues produced each year in Ethiopia, over a million tons of straw comes from barley. There is substantial under utilization of barley straw as animal feed. The major constraints on the use of barley straw as animal feed are low nutrient content, low voluntary i...
