Small-scale rural farmers cannot complete with the large-scale, peri-urban, and vertically integrated systems using the same type of feed resources (i.e. imported grain cereals and protein sources), animal genotypes and facilities. In order to succeed, these farmers need to develop alternative pi...

The focus of this volume is on small ruminant production, the effects that nematode parasites have on their productivity and ways of overcoming these effects. In some chapters, avoidance takes on more significance than direct confrontation. This volume is arranged in two sections. The first secti...

Sheep are like fast-growing cabbage: Gender dimensions of small ruminant health in Ethiopia
Fodder trees are important feed sources for livestock in a wide range of agroforestry systems throughout the world. Farmers have used fodder trees since ancient times and they are common in traditional feeding systems. In recent times there have been significant movements of germplasm and increas...
