Inadequate nutrition is the main cause of low productivity of livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. The primary feed resources include fodder trees, natural pastures and crop residues. This paper presents results from studies conducted at ILRI in evaluations of these resources. The effect of supplemen...

Six rumen cannulated sheep (26.1 (s.d. 2.24 kg live weight) given maize stover ad libitum were supplemented with either sunflower cake (SFC), decorticated cottonseed (CSC) or noug cakes (NGC) with or without crushed maize grain. The 6x6 Latin-square experiment studied the degradation properties o...

This study was conducted in the central highlands of Ethiopia during 1990-92 to examine the effects of diet and partial suckling on lactation and reproductive performance of Boran (Bos indicus) cows. Primiparous Boran cows were allocated to dietary supplementation or no supplementation with eithe...
