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...

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 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...
