Although this document is intended to report research on Vertisols, livestock do not respect this boundary as they graze communal land. Hence a general situation of the available feed resources in the highlands is also highlighted which is followed by specific efforts of collaborative partners of...

Undersowing sorghum with stylo as a means of improving fodder quality for dry-season grazing of livestock in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was investigated. Planting either Stylosanthes guianeusis cv 'Cook' or S. hamata cv 'Verano' simultaneously with local or improved varieties of sorghum reduced...

It has always been difficult to find forage legumes with the production characteristics that can help maximise animal performance, and that are also adapted to the alternating wet and dry seasons of the subhumid zone of africa. Among the characters in demand are drought tolerance, good herbage pr...

Wheat was planted at different altitudes in the Ethiopian highlands. Increased altitude led to a lower neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content and a higher in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of the leaf blades, leaf sheaths and stems. The varieties tested did not differ in NDF content, H...
