As part of a three-year project focusing on improving the livelihoods of poor livestock keepers by improving the availability of fodder, new groundnut varieties were tested, incorporating participatory rural appraisal (PRA), rapid rural appraisal (RRA), focus group discussions (FGDs) and field da...

Reports the work in progress at ILCA on appropriate methods of collecting Digitaria species and multiplying these former species and Leucaena leucocephala, Erythrina brucei and Sesbania sesban in vitro. Discusses their potential use in forage genetic resources. Discusses inoculation of stem cutti...

The forage genetic resources activities at ILCA located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, focus on the acquisition, maintenance, characterization, evaluation, and distribution of forage germplasm for development and utilization as livestock feeds. The genetic resources required for forage development are...

Conservation of germplasm has traditionally relied to a large extent on storage of seeds in genebanks. However, some forage species may take a long time to research maturity and produce seeds or, in the case of grasses, have inadequate production of seeds for collection, multiplication, dissemina...

Rising populations and incomes in developing countries are likely to double demand for livestock products by 2020 (Delgado et al. 1999). This strong demand has potential to improve profitability for farmers but will require improved animal feeding in both semi-intensive crop-livestock and more ex...

Information on available diversity and drought resistance among Chloris gayana accessions would offer considerable potential to select genotypes to alleviate the feed inadequacy that constrains livestock production in dry tropical areas. A collection of 62 C. gayana accessions from the genebank o...

Several differnt methods using different numbers of plants and observations have been used for characterisation of germplasm. In this study two different observation strategies for characterisation were tested in order to determine the minimum number of observations and plant per accession whilst...

Lack of seeds has been identified as an important limitation to increase food production by CGIAR. ILCA and ICARDA have established seed units to address this constraint and promote the supply of seeds of their mandate crops. Much of the seed used for sowing crops in developing countries is produ...
