Compares energy and crude protein balances of cattle in traditional and ranching systems in eastern Botswana. Considers animal gross energy produced per unit, productivity at different stocking rates, liveweight, biological efficiency and pasture degradation & drought. Shows calculations of gross...
The effects of leucaena hedgerows, mulching with leucaena foliage (0.50 and 100 percent of harvested foliage), cowpea intercropping and addition of dairy cattle slurry (55 t ha-1 per maize crop) on the yield of maize from a sandy soil were assessed. The four-year results from five maize crops are...
Inadequate supply of fodder is a serious constraint to the potentially-promising smallholder-dairy production system in coastal Kenya. Alley farming could be an approach to addressing this problem. A study of forage production based on Napier grass and leucaena in an alley cropping system was con...
Presents estimates of the returns from production of Dwarf sheep & goats under traditional systems and the variability in returns in south west Nigeria. Discusses alternative approaches to raising productivity esdisease control to reduce mortality and improved nutrition; assesses suitability of p...
Discusses the variation in rainfall and its implications for the length of growting season and consequent dry matter production from the East African rangelands. Presents evidence of the effects of primary dry-matter production on livestock performance. Describes shifts in the relative prices of ...
Describes a two year study of sheep and goat production on Maasai group ranches in Kenya. Reviews measures of output used by ILCA and others, and assesses the advantage and disadvanteges of each type of measurement and proposes new indices of production and methods for analysis.
This review has drawn on published research and the collective insights of a small team of experienced researchers to identify important trajectories in rice-based farming systems and to draw out the implications for agricultural research as a basis for discussion within ACIAR and the broader res...
This work analyses on-farm adjustments in land allocation and intensification in a commercial crop following the increases in market demand in a developing economy. Drawing from the survey conducted among common bean producers in Ethiopia in 2008, a two stage econometric method was used to invest...
Describes the research approach adopted by an interdisciplinary ILCA team to study a pastoralist production system, summarizing the methodology & results of research on small ruminants' productivity in the Maasai pastoral system, and outlining dif. features of current smallstock research in Kenya...
