Seasonal effect of bush canopy on dietary selection and nutrition of goats was evaluated at Kiboko, south-central Kenya from June through November, 1982. Three mature esophageally fistulated East-African goats were used in the study on a one day graze, 28-30 day rest cycle. Treatment paddocks (2....

This study was conducted in a commiphora savannah with two levels of bush canopy cover and two levels of herbage in august and December, respectively, in 1983 on the national range research station, kiboko, Kenya. Effects of season, available herbage, and bush level on dietary composition, prefer...

The study was conducted in Kenya to determine the relationship of fecal nitrogen, fecal nitrogen fractions and fecal nitrogen ratio to organic matter intake, dietary crude protein, in vivo dry matter digestibility and vitro organic matter digestibility. Two sites were chosen for the study based u...

A drip-type rainfall simulator was used to assess effects of grazing systems and vegetation on infiltration rates and sediment production at Buchuma Range Research Station, Kenya. Four livestock grazing treatments were studied: High Intensity Low Frequency, rotation, moderate continuous and non-g...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally significant forage legume in pastoral livestock farming systems. It is an attractive component of grassland farming, because of its high yield and protein content, nutritional value and ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Enhancing its role furthe...

Recommendations for evaluating germplasm under small-plot grazing
Feed and grazing management affect both the quantity and quality of animal manure and consequently nutrient cycling in the mixed crop-livestock systems in West Africa Sahel. Dietary measures can significantly influence the composition of manure and hence it’s agricultural value. High nutrient fee...
