Lowlands in Ethiopia cover about 60 percent of the total land area, of which about 60 percent is arid. Land use in the lowlands is dominated by pastoralist and agropastoralist production systems. Livestock production constitutes the most important component of the system and rangeland is the majo...

Overlooked and at risk: Farm animal diversity
The genetic diversity and relationships amongst the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) populations are poorly documented. Four recognized Kenyan dromedary breeds (Somali, Turkana, Rendille, Gabbra) and dromedary from Pakistan and the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) were studi...

Quantifies some of the benefits to range resource use and human food supply from multiple species stocking in African livestock systems. Gives examples of the use of range resources by camels, cattle, goats and sheep in terms of the percentages of total time spent on feeding. Presents productivit...
