Research experiences in the African Research Network on Agricultural by-Products (ARNAB)
The paper emphasises the potential opportunities and challenges to improve productivity in goats and improve the livelihoods of the poor. An assessment of research activities confirms the continuing trend about emphasis on basic research and along disciplinary lines. The importance of shifting re...

Small ruminant production in Ethiopia: Constraints and future prospects
Draft oxen have been used extensively by smallholders in many crop-livestock mixed production systems. In these system, crop production is totally dependent on oxen power. Other livestock have also been used for draft purposes depending on locality and circumstances. However, improved efficiency ...

Status of oxen traction research in ILRI, Ethiopia. Experiences and global prospective
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...

The potential for goat research and Development (R & D) to impact the economic Development of developing countries, particularly in the smallholder sector, cannot be overemphasised. But goat (R & D) has been marginalised in most of these countries, unfortunately. Some of the major underlying reas...
