Animal Source Foods such as milk, meat and eggs are essential for human nutrition. Demand is increasing and this offers multiple opportunities for livestock producers. However, sustainable productivity and efficiency gains are needed, addressing both seasonal and inter-annual variation. Feed is a...

Despite the profound livestock importance in eastern Africa, livestock productivity remains low attributable to a number of challenges. One of the major drawbacks is lack of quality feeds and forages. This results in poor animal performance and suboptimal use of resources. Intertwined with this l...

In the process of developing an improved fallow system based on forage legumes, the potential interest of crop-livestock farmers in enhancing soil fertility restoration and dry-season feed supply was assessed during a socio-economic study on 11 farms of settled agro-pastoralists in the subhumid z...

The potential of 3-year-old grazed pastures of Stylosanthes hamata, Chamaecrista rotundifolia and Centrosema pascuorum to contribute to subsequent maize production was investigated in subhumid Nigeria in 1993. All three legume pastures had the ability to give better maize grain yields than native...

In order to contribute to improved utilisation of herbaceous legumes, in particular Centrosema macrocarpum and Stylosanthes guianensis for crop-livestock systems, the present study explored a number of management options to improve the effect of legumes on subsequent maize yield. The objectives o...

Ensuring that farming in the moist savannas of Africa is maintained, despite increasing population pressure and agricultural demands, necessitates the sustainable integration of crop and livestock enterprises; a role that forage legumes can fulfill. The potential of eleven herbaceous and two shru...

Cowpea is important for the provision of both grain for food and fodder for livestock but there is often a trade-off between production of the two. To better understand influences on grain and fodder production, and how these may be utilized. Research was conducted at 5 locations in West Africa u...
