Cowpea is important for the provision of both grain for food and fodder for livestock but there is often a trade-off between production of the two. To better understand influences on grain and fodder production, and how these may be utilized. Research was conducted at 5 locations in West Africa u...

The Kenya coastal region has a large, unsatisfied market for milk and dairy products. Between 1988 and 1994, a research project, closely linked to extension, identified and addressed technical constraints that limit smallholder dairy Development in the region. Methodological approaches are outlin...

Reports on research activities carried out by ILCA's highland programme to devise an appropriate animal feed production strategy for small scale farmeres in the Ethiopian highlands. Gives a critical analysis of the available sources of animal feed, such as, roughages from native pasture, browse a...

Twenty-four multiparous Zebu × Friesian crossbred cows, were fed maize-lablab stover as basal diet and allocated to four graded levels of lablab hay (0%, 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2% BW) treatments in a study to investigate effects of levels of lablab supplementation on body weight changes and reproductiv...

Defines some of the terms commonly used and misused in forage production and management in relation to farming systems research. Also provides a quick reference of some of the pasture and forage species found in the subhumid zone of Nigeria.

Since 1986 the Joint Vertisol Project (JVP) which involved a number of national and international research and Development institutions in Ethiopia gave high priority to developing alternative management practices for increased and sustainable food and feed production in highland vertisols. The J...

Reports a concerted interinstitutional attempt to generalize the use of the available draught animal power for the construction of more effective soil surface drainage. The hypothesis is that the relatively high productive potential of the Ethiopian highland vertisols, particularly in high-rainfa...


Jutzi, S.C.Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Improving productivity on highland Vertisols: The oxen-drawn broadbed maker]Improving productivity on highland Vertisols: The oxen-drawn broadbed maker

Presents and discusses the effects of animal power use for improved soil surface drainage on food and feed production on the vertisols of the Ethiopian highlands. Examines the on-farm technology validation programme at ILCA; describes crop/livestock interactions in these vertisol areas; highlight...

The East African highlands face servere erosion problems, declining soil fertility and acute shortages of fodder and fuelwood. These problems are worsened by the region's rapid population growth, but may be reduced if leguminous trees are integrated into the farming systems. Adapted leucaena spec...
