A grazing trial was carried out in the Eastern Plains of Colombia to compare legume selection by transiently grazed oesophageal-fistulated steers and non-fistulated steers permanently grazing pastures. The 6 pasture types investigated were Arachis pintoi-Brachiaria humidicola mixtures which diffe...

The effect of grazing cattle on vegetation was studied on a natural pasture during the rainy and dry seasons of 1995 in the Ethiopian highlands. The study used 0.01 ha plots, established on 0-4 percent and 4-8 percent slopes located close to each other at Debre Zeit research station, 50 km South ...

The possible use of tropical forage legumes in pastures based on Brachiaria decumbens and Andropogon gayanus pastures was tested on farms in the humid tropics region of Pucallpa, Perú. The pastures were established by farmers using manual labour. They were associated with maize in some cases and ...

In Nigeria, researcher-managed and farmer-managed West African Dwarf goats were grazed on Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) fodder banks at stocking rates of 29, 43 and 57 goats/ha and 22-25, 42-43, 50-55 and 68-92 goats/ha, respectively. Extrusa samples were taken from oesophageally fistulated goats t...

Review of the published and unpublished literature on 'gizu', with particular reference to environment, calendar of occurence, flora composition, plant ecology, sociological aspects & economic aspects of the regional pastoral economy.
More effective control of the tsetse fly in Africa will reduce constraints imposed by the livestock disease, trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis lowers livestock productivity, and in some areas, may limit the ability of farmers to keep livestock and plough the land using animal traction. Control of ...

Maize stover is the most abundant crop residue in the central Kenya highlands and it is often the sole forage offered to dairy cattle during the dry seasons. In recent years increasing offer rates of crop residues (excess feeding) to promote selective feeding by confined animals has been shown to...
