Conference Paper 2000

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 ...

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...

Treatment of low quality roughaghes such as maize stover with urea to increase feeding value for livestock is a widely tested technology in the tropics. However, the high cost of treatment has led to little uptake by farmers, for fodder improvement. This experiment investigated wheather urea trea...

A Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) was conducted with smallholder dairy farmers in the central highlands of Kenya, where smallholder mixed farming systems predominate. Shortage of fodder is the principal problem as a result of decreasing farm size and, therefore, cattle are rarely fed ad libit...
