Availability and access to fresh water will likely constrain future food production in many countries. Thus, it is frequently suggested that the limited amount of water should be used more productively. In this study we report the results of our investigation on effects of feed, age and weight on...

Factors affecting livestock water productivity: animal scale analysis using previous cattle feeding trials in Ethiopia
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...

Livestock water productivity in mixed crop-livestock farming systems of the Blue Nile basin: assessing variability and prospects for improvement
Several studies have shown different positive and negative cases of livestock and environmental interactions in the different eco-regions of the world and under a variety of production systems. They have been related to inadequate policies, pressures for intensification of production systems led ...

Balancing livestock environment and human needs: An international perspective
A recent study of the livestock water productivity (LWP), at higher spatial scales in the Blue Nile Basin, indicated strong variability across regions. To get an insight into the causes of this variability, we examined the effect of farm households’ access to productive resources (e.g. land, live...

Agro-ecosystems, natural resources management and human health related research in East Africa
Good management of livestock watering is critical to
maintaining the quality of the environment and human
health. The use of troughs or other dedicated water points
that are separate from human water sources can prevent
contamination by waterborne diseases. It also conserves
riparian vegetation a...
