Despite the great potential of legumes in cattle production, their adoption and use throughout the tropical world remain limited. While this is largely attributed to factors such as limited knowledge or access to credit, lack of information on the viability and profitability of the technology can...

Farm-scale tradeoffs between legume use as forage versus green manure: the case of Canavalia Brasiliensis
Legume tissue quality is a key factor for enhancement of feed resources and contribution to soil fertility in mixed crop-livestock production systems. To compare methods used by soil scientists and animal-nutritionists to assess quality of plant materials, three woody tropical legumes with contra...

Forage legumes could enhance ruminant production in Latin America far more than they currently do. With a few instructive exceptions, decades invested in domesticating, testing and divulgating pasture and rangeland leguminous species, have had limited impact. Reasons for this include lack of end-...
