The role of livestock in nitrogen cycling in mixed crop-livestock farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa was explored. Cattle were fed a range of diets to investigate the effects on partitioning of nitrogen between urine and faeces and on the chemical composition of the manures produced. The trade...

Information is needed on the biophysical and economic rationale for labour-demanding (and therefore, expensive) backyard animal rearing systems on smallholdings in the uplands of Java where livestock have been an integral part of highly intensive agriculture for centuries. The occurrence of high ...

As human populations continue to grow, the intensification of agricultural production is occurring in order to maintain food consumption and rural income levels in developing countries. The demand for livestock products is generally income-elastic, so that, with increases in real incomes in most ...

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...

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 ...
