Poor nutrition because of poor quality feeds and fluctuating feed supply is a major constraint to tropical livestock productivity. The need to supply greater quantities of quality fodder requires development of both new forages and feeding strategies that will enhance the efficiency with which co...

Opportunities from the genetic diversity of the ILRI genebank forage germplasm collection
Urochloa (syn.—Brachiaria s.s.) is one of the most important tropical forages that transformed livestock industries in Australia and South America. Farmers in Africa are increasingly interested in growing Urochloa to support the burgeoning livestock business, but the lack of cultivars adapted to ...

Aflatoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus molds that contaminate a variety of food and animal feeds. Exposure to aflatoxins causes serious illness in humans, including liver cancer and stunting in children. When cows ingest aflatoxin-contaminated feed, they secrete aflat...

A collection of 74 perennial Panicum accessions, belonging to 6 different species, maintained at the field genebank of the International Livestock Research Institute, was described using 49 agromorphological characters in a multivariate analysis. Fifty-four accessions, for which coordinates of th...
