The increasing interest in crop-livestock integration in sub-Saharan Africa has emphasised the beneficial uses of forage legumes in cereal-based cropping systems. Forage legume-cereal cropping systems were evaluated in 1989 and 1990 at the ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the S...

A diagnostic survey was carried out in 1988 to assess feed resource and animal production situation in Welayta Sodo. Information was collected by interviewing 102 heads of households. Supplementary information was also collected from the Ministry of Agriculture. Discusses type and nutritional qua...

Crop residue use for soil mulch and animal feed are the two major competing purposes and the basic source of fundamental challenge in conservation agriculture (CA) where residue retention on farm plots is one of the three CA principles. Using survey data from Kenya and applying bivariate ordered ...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) is an important grain legume in the semiarid zone of West Africa as it is a major source of dietary protein for the people. It is usually grown as an intercrop with the major cereals, namely millet and sorghum. Despite its importance, its yields are very low ...

Discusses the nutritive value of the crop residue and byproducts from groundnuts in relation to the potential influence that crop improvement programs could have on improving their utilization by livestock. Compares nutritional composition and in vitro digestibility of groundnut cake, cottonseed ...

The potential use of diets based on maize stover and groundnut hay with either urea or sunflower seed as a supplement was investigated using indigenous Small East African goats. Four female goats fitted with permanent rumen cannulae were randomly assigned to a 2*2 changeover design to determine d...

Livestock are an important component of farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa. They are raised mainly for meat, milk and skin and provide a flexible financial reserve in years of crop failure. They also play a critical role in the agricultural intensification process by providing draft power and ...
