Forage and seed yields of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) are considered to be joint products by crop-livestock farmers, but forage yield and quality are not currently part of selection criteria in groundnut improvement programs in West Africa. Variations in forage and seed yields of 38 late-maturin...

Current cereal breeding programmes at commodity-oriented research centres emphasize grain yields with little consideration for fodder yield and quality. In farming systems with livestock, the use of varieties with high-grain yields but low stover yields may be rejected by farmers. This study inve...

Groups of lactating N'Dama cows maintained under traditional husbandry conditions were given dry season supplements of locally available oil seed residues to establish nutritional recommendations for improving livestock productivity in the sub-humid zone of West Africa. In one experiment cows wer...

The effects of two cropping systems (1 and 2) on grain and fodder yields and nutritive quality of the fodder were studied in a randomized complete block desgin experiment over a period of two cropping years. Crops and crop combinations in system 1 were oat-vetch, wheat-trifolium, teff straw, and ...

This study examined the influence of dietary variation on the usefulness of urinary spot purine derivatives (PD) collected at three periods (8:00-9:30, 14:00-15:30 and 20:00-21:30 hours) as predictors of intake by cattle. Diets comprised teff (Eragrostis tef) straw, fresh and dried Napier grass a...

A collection of 108 accessions of Sesbania sesban (Fabacea, Papilionoideae) was grown in the field and classified using morphological attributes. Numerical analysis resulted in the division of the collection into 2 major groups, which corresponded to the different varieties that exist in the subs...

The subhumid zone has a great potential in terms of carrying capacity to increase ruminant livestock production in Nigeria and tropical Africa in general. This paper reviews livestock distribution, land use constraints, feed resources and their effects on livestock productivity in the zone. Natur...
