A survey was conducted to determine the sources and delivery of technical information to smallholder dairy farmers in Kiambu District. Sixty-three farmers in three wealth groups (rich, medium, poor) of 21 farmers each from three different locations, were selected at random from maps drawn by comm...

A survey was conducted to evaluate the use of Milk Urea Nitrogen as an indicator of nutrition status of lactating animals. Twenty-seven animals in a randomly selected sample of 21 farms in Kiambu District were monitored for nutritional status for 12 weeks. Fortnightly records were taken on feed o...

Autor: Thorne, Peter J. Tanner, J.C. Gurung, H.B.

A key characteristic of the provision of feed resources under staff feeding conditions in many smallholder systems is a high degree of variability in the types and quantities of feeds used. Striking seasonal patterns have been widely observed (e.g. Gatenby et al, 1989). However, their consequence...

Autor: Sanda, A. Romney, D.L. Tanner, J.C. Thorne, Peter J. Leaver, J.D.

The effects on crossbred steer liveweight gain of alternating the same quantities of Napier grass and barley straw at five day intervals over a 40 day period was studied (Sanda et al, 1999. These animals lost significantly more weight (p<0.05) than animals on one and ten day frequencies of alter...

Conference Paper 1998

Autor: Delve, Robert J. Tanner, J.C. Kimani, S. Giller, Ken E. Cadisch, Georg Thorne, Peter J.

Due to inadequate feed supplies for livestock production, farmers throughout the tropics and sub-tropics are being encouraged to supplement low quality basal diets with leguminous forage and concentrates. The varying quality (e.g. nitrogen, lignin and polyphenol content) of these diets will influ...

Autor: Lukuyu, Ben A. Romney, D.L. Tanner, J.C. Thorpe, W.R.

A major constraint on smallholder dairy farms in Kenya is inadequate feed supply resulting in low productivity. In Kiambu District of the Central Highlands, principal feed resources are cultivated Napier grass, roadside grass and fodder from maize, including stover and high quality thinnings cut ...

Autor: Tanner, J.C. McCarthy, N.A. Omore, Amos O.

In European dairy herds lactation curves are conventionally described by a gamma function such as that of Wood (1969). High yields in early lactation mean that more frequent calving leads to increased annual milk production (AMP) per cow. Thus, the optimum calving interval in the UK is 365 days (...

Maize stover is the most abundant crop residue in Kenya (Methu et al., 1996). Like other cereal crop residues, maize stover is characterised by low digestibility and low crude protein. Use of ammonia to upgrade barley and wheat straw is practised in temperate countries, but in the tropics, treatm...
