Demand for livestock products has been increasing through much of the semi-arid
tropics and will likely continue to increase along with the use of purchased feedstuffs. As
smallholder livestock systems evolve and become more market oriented, the type of diets
fed to livestock may change and the i...

Cowpea in evolving livestock systems
The potential of pastures sown with species mixtures of tropical legume species compared with single species was investigated in subhumid west Africa, over a period of three grazing seasons. Through compensation and complementation of the individual legume species, the mixtures were seasonally an...

Performance of legume mixtures under small-plot periodic grazing
Crop residues from maize (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), millet (Pennisetum glaucum), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) are important livestock feed in the West African savannas particularly during the long dry season. The residues from cer...

Effect of feeding crop residues of different cereals and legumes on weight gain of Yankassa rams
The use of legume-legume mixtures to alleviate limitations of individual species in legume based technologies was investigated in subhumid Nigeria. The results indicate the potential of legume mixtures, through processes of complementation and compensation, to reduce the risk of legume establishm...
