A deterministic model was developed to evaluate the adequacy and utilization of ruminant livestock feed resources in the moist savannahs of W. Africa. Changes in land cropped and available as range, were used to project changes in feed resources over time and to evalaute whether these feed resour...

Discusses natural feed resources and their availability patterns in Nigeria. Lists grassland, communities and their yield under natural environment and, common browse species and their nutritive value in Bin-Yauri Grazing Reserve in the late dry season.

Growing pearl millet and cowpea in combination with raising ruminant livestock is widely practiced in the Sahel. In this farming system, livestock feeding depends mostly on rangeland, fallows and cropland grazing. Nutritional constraints to grazing ruminants stem primarily from feed scarcity and ...

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...

Outlines the evolution of man's utilization of the natural and derived grasslands of the intertropical zone in terms of his management of wild and domesticated herbivores; assesses their roles as a primary feed resources for livestock and as an effective means of maintaining soil fertility in the...

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...

Strategies for improved feed utilisation and ruminant production systems are discussed in the context of the demand-led processes for foods of animal origin, in which the contribution of ruminants is lagging. Increased productivity in the future will need to come from improved per animal performa...

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...
