Browse is an important forage in pastoral systems, especially during dry seasons, because it is high in nitrogen and digestibility. However, browse palatability may be reduced by possible plant defenses such as tannins and physical attributes. Chemical and physical properties of 20 browse species...

Competition for milk between calves and pastoral herders may reduce weaning weights, retard growth, and delay puberty in cattle. Calf supplementation could over-ride such effects and improve pastoral economies. To examine these issues in semiarid Ethiopia, 266 Boran calves (Bos indicus) were used...
