El uso de cultivos forrajeros para corte y acarreo o para ensilar es una alternativa para reducir los efectos negativos de la época seca en la alimentación de animales en sistemas ganaderos doble propósito en el trópico seco. Por otra parte, el uso de abonos verdes de leguminosas es una alternati...

A grazing trial was carried out in the Eastern Plains of Colombia to compare legume selection by transiently grazed oesophageal-fistulated steers and non-fistulated steers permanently grazing pastures. The 6 pasture types investigated were Arachis pintoi-Brachiaria humidicola mixtures which diffe...

Se evalúo el efecto de suplementar una gramínea de baja calidad con el suministro de mezclas de leguminosas con y sin taninos en la producción y calidad de leche. El experimento se realizó en la Estación del CIAT, Cauca, Colombia. Se seleccionaron 8 vacas tipo Holstein x Cebú, distribuidas en cua...

Nitrification, a key process in the global nitrogen cycle that
generates nitrate through microbial activity, may enhance losses
of fertilizer nitrogen by leaching and denitrification. Certain
plants can suppress soil-nitrification by releasing inhibitors from
roots, a phenomenon termed biological...

Legume tissue quality is a key factor for enhancement of feed resources and contribution to soil fertility in mixed crop-livestock production systems. To compare methods used by soil scientists and animal-nutritionists to assess quality of plant materials, three woody tropical legumes with contra...

An in vitro experiment was performed to compare the forage quality of foliage of Calliandra (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissner var. Patulul) cultivated on either low or medium-fertility soils in Colombia and Kenya, respectively. A grass-alone diet, with and without urea supplementation, and five le...

Improved forages play an important role in sustaining the livelihoods of small- and medium-scale farmers in the tropics, mainly as a result of their positive effects on livestock production and contribution to economic and environmental sustainability. However, in many regions of the tropics, the...
