Haileslassie, AmareCraufurd, Peter Q.Blümmel, MichaelReddy, R.[Framework for crop-livestock production systems research]Framework for crop-livestock production systems research

In the process of developing an improved fallow system based on forage legumes, the potential interest of crop-livestock farmers in enhancing soil fertility restoration and dry-season feed supply was assessed during a socio-economic study on 11 farms of settled agro-pastoralists in the subhumid z...

A study was conducted in the humid-forest, forest-savanna, and Guinea savanna zones of West Africa from 1993 to 1999 to examine the effect of managing crop residues from cereal-legume cropping systems for mulch and fodder for sheeIncreasing the proportion of total crop residues produced from a un...

The moist savannah zone in sub-Saharan Africa is regarded as a high potential area for crop and livestock production. Currently, human labour is the principal source of power for crop production and the level of commercial energy use is very low. Agropastoralism and pastoralism are the principal ...

Integrated crop-animal systems are important in Asia. Both ruminants and non-ruminants are used in a variety of combinations with annual and perennial crops in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, China and Sri Lanka. These combined systems provide distinct economic benefits, and are more compat...

Ritzema, Randall S.Frelat, RomainDouxchamps, SabineSilvestri, SilviaRufino, Mariana C.Herrero, Mario T.Giller, Ken E.López Ridaura, SantiagoWijk, Mark T. van[What works where for which farm household: Estimated effects of different interventions on food availability across household distributions in East and West Africa]What works where for which farm household: Estimated effects of different interventions on food availability across household distributions in East and West Africa

The potential of 3-year-old grazed pastures of Stylosanthes hamata, Chamaecrista rotundifolia and Centrosema pascuorum to contribute to subsequent maize production was investigated in subhumid Nigeria in 1993. All three legume pastures had the ability to give better maize grain yields than native...

The role of livestock in nitrogen cycling in mixed crop-livestock farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa was explored. Cattle were fed a range of diets to investigate the effects on partitioning of nitrogen between urine and faeces and on the chemical composition of the manures produced. The trade...


Delve, Robert J.Cadisch, GeorgTanner, J.C.Thorpe, W.R.Thorne, Peter J.Giller, Ken E.[Implications of livestock feeding management on soil fertility in the smallholder farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa]Implications of livestock feeding management on soil fertility in the smallholder farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa

The integration of crop and animal production is well developed in the farming systems of Asia, particularly those in small-scale agriculture. There is marked complementarity in resource use in these systems, with inputs from one sector being supplied to others. Specific examples of the main crop...

Thiss paper presents an overview of the current status, problems and prospects for achieving a better nutrient balance to support varying levels of productivity from the three major livestock systems in Africa. In free range grazing systems, livestock nutrient deficiencies are mainly overcome by ...
