Decreasing farm size and the opportunity to market livestock products has promoted the development of intensive production systems in East and souther Africa. This paper reviews the characteristics of the common feed resources used in small-scale intensive farming systems in eastern and southern ...

Thirty-six crossbred cows were used in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement in a randomized block design to evaluate forages from two cropping systems (1 and 2) and feeding levels (ad libitum, (Level1)) or 80 percent of ad libitum (Level 2) on milk yield, live weight, and reproductive performance. Crops...

Wheat was planted at different altitudes in the Ethiopian highlands. Increased altitude led to a lower neutral detergent fibre (NDF) content and a higher in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of the leaf blades, leaf sheaths and stems. The varieties tested did not differ in NDF content, H...

There are widely varying perceptions of the acceptability of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. to ruminants in different parts of the tropics. The possibility that there is a genetic basis for this apparent variation was investigated in a series of feeding experiments with small ruminants. The sam...
