Describes ILCA's research w. integrated alley farming, Gliricidia & Leucaena w. food crops, in southwest Nigeria, either w. a cut-and-carry browse feeding system for both sheep & goats or a grazed fallow system for sheep, outlining its biological & economic advantages and assessing its applicabil...
Reviews a variety of research trials ranging from the improvement of germplasm materials to the development of fodder production systems, and concludes with a recommendation for more research and development attention on the integration of fodder trees within the existing farming systems. Include...
