Water is essential for agriculture including livestock. Given increasing global concern that access to agricultural water will constrain food production and that livestock production uses and degrades too much water, there is compelling need for better understanding of the nature of livestock–wat...

Water scarcity is a reality in the world today, and is a major threat to our food production systems that have to provide enough food for a growing and wealthier population. Managing water for agriculture is a major part of the solution for scarcity. This chapter provides information on water ava...

The two years on-farm tillage research during the 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons in Ethiopian highland Vertisol area demonstrated the importance of adapting cultural practices into participatory trials. The minimum tillage package could be an effective intervention for soil conservation due to th...

Water scarcity is a major factor limiting food production. Improving Livestock Water Productivity (LWP) is one of the approaches to address those problems. LWP is defined as the ratio of livestock's beneficial outputs and services to water depleted in their production. Increasing LWP can help ach...

The impact of grazing on soil physical properties in the east African highland was studied from 1996 to 1998. The study was conducted at two sites with 0-4 % and 4-8 % slopes at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) Debre Ziet Research Station, 50 km south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia...

The threat of water scarcity in sub-Saharan Africa is real, due to the expanding agricultural needs, climate variability and inappropriate land use. Livestock keeping is the fastest growing agricultural sector, partly because of increasing and changing demands for adequate, quality and diverse fo...

The purpose of this paper is to describe how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to assist reviews to suggest complex information simply, via a spatial depiction. Fasciolosis risk maps are a convenient tool for developing targeted and cost-effective interventions with disease control...

Biomass productivity, botanical composition, and soil physical properties were studied under conditions with and without application of manure. The study was conducted at the Debre Zeit station of the International Livestock Research Institute, located 50 km from Addis Ababa in the Ethiopian high...
