Preliminary assessment of genetic variability of stover quality traits and stover yield in pearl millet has demonstrated the presence of considerable variation for cell wall digestibility and stover yield (Blümmel et al. 2003). The objectives of this study are mapping QTLs for stover nutritional ...

Grain and stover productivity and variation in stover quality traits were investigated amongst 256 full-sib progenies of pearl millet variety ICMV 221. Substantial ranges were observed for grain (1.5-fold difference) and stover (1.8-fold difference) yields. Stover protein content varied two-fold,...

A total of 860 cultivars and breeding lines of groundnut grown in the off (Rabi) season of 2001/02 post rainy season at ICRISAT centre head quarter in India were investigated for haulm fodder quality traits and relationships between haulm traits and pod yields. Haulm fodder quality traits chosen ...

In vitro techniques used for evaluating ruminant feeds can be classified into those that estimate gravimetrically their digestibility or degradability by quantifying the insoluble residues that remain after their incubation in inoculum containing rumen fluid, and those that measure the appearance...

Sweet sorghum is a multipurpose crop that comes up well under rainfed conditions in semi-arid tropics. While the stalk juice from sweet sorghum used for ethanol production, its grain is used for food and the bagasse as animal feed. The investigation had four objectives: 1) to popularize sweet sor...

Mixed crop livestock systems provide the majority of the cereal and livestock domestic products for households in developing countries. We explore the question of whether such systems can respond to increasing demands for livestock products without compromising future livelihoods of the poor or t...
