Alkhtib, AshrafWamatu, JaneKaysi, YahyaMona, M.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.[Pistachio (Pistacia vera) by-products as ruminant feed: a review on production, management and utilization in arid and semi-arid areas in the Middle East]Pistachio (Pistacia vera) by-products as ruminant feed: a review on production, management and utilization in arid and semi-arid areas in the Middle East

Smallholder pig farmers in East Africa report that lack of feed, seasonal feed shortages, quality and cost are key constraints to pig rearing. Commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and people and pigs compete for food. Smallholder farmers typically feed nutritionally unbalanced diets,...


Carter, Natalie A.Dewey, Catherine E.Grace, DeliaLukuyu, Ben A.Smith, ElizaLange, Cornelis de[In the search for low-cost year-round feeds: Pen-level growth performance of local and crossbred Ugandan pigs fed forage- or silage-based diets versus commercial diet]In the search for low-cost year-round feeds: Pen-level growth performance of local and crossbred Ugandan pigs fed forage- or silage-based diets versus commercial diet

Presents data on the numbers of each domestic livestock species present as well as ownership and management patterns. The census includes sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys and horses and was carried out in four localities - Gunjur, Pirang, Keneba and Jattaba. The sheep and goats were, respectively, of ...

The objectives were to determine browse species preference of goats using dry matter intake (DMI) as a proxy, to compare preference when offered in combination with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and to establish relationships between browse species intake and chemical compositional data. Air-dried le...


Mengistu, G.Bezabih, MelkamuHendriks, W.H.Pellikaan, W.F.[Preference of goats (Capra hircus L.) for tanniniferous browse species available in semi-arid areas in Ethiopia]Preference of goats (Capra hircus L.) for tanniniferous browse species available in semi-arid areas in Ethiopia

Evaluation of lifetime productivity of individual animals in response to various interventions allows assessment of long-term investment opportunities for farmers. In order to gain a better understanding of promising feed interventions for improvement of small ruminant production in Southwestern ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of supplementing increasing levels of dried tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) leaf on the nutrition and performance of sheep fed a basal diet of barley straw. The study had four treatments, which involved supplementation of dried tagasaste...


Mengesha, M.Bezabih, MelkamuMekonnen, KinduAdie, AberraDuncan, Alan J.Thorne, Peter J.Tolera, A.[Tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) leaf supplementation to enhance nutrient intake and production performance of sheep in the Ethiopian highlands]Tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) leaf supplementation to enhance nutrient intake and production performance of sheep in the Ethiopian highlands

Brachiaria grass is an emerging forage option for livestock production in Kenya. Kenya lies within the center of diversity for Brachiaria species, thus a high genetic variation in natural populations of Brachiaria is expected. Overgrazing and clearing of natural vegetation for crop production and...

Ten cereal straws and stovers from India were treated using the ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) technique to explore the effectiveness of the AFEX technique for releasing sugars from structural carbohydrates and for the upgrading of cereal crop residues as livestock feed. Recovery of glucose and x...

Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) is a fast-growing perennial grass native to Sub-Saharan Africa that is widely grown across the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a multipurpose forage crop, primarily used to feed cattle in cut and carry feeding systems. Characteriz...
