Decreasing farm size and the opportunity to market livestock products has promoted the development of intensive production systems in East and souther Africa. This paper reviews the characteristics of the common feed resources used in small-scale intensive farming systems in eastern and southern ...

Discusses natural feed resources and their availability patterns in Nigeria. Lists grassland, communities and their yield under natural environment and, common browse species and their nutritive value in Bin-Yauri Grazing Reserve in the late dry season.


Mohamed-Saleem, M.A.[Natural feed resources and their availability patterns]Natural feed resources and their availability patterns
Autor: Reed, J.D.

Discusses the relationships between three digestion inhibitors (lignin, tannin, and biogenic silica) and the feeding behaviour of six African ungulates (Thomson's gazelle, grants gazelle, Kongoni, wildebeest, camels, and cattle (Bos indicus)) in relation to browse/grass comparisons and mixed spec...

Autor: Osuji, P.O.

Multipurpose trees (MPTs) improve the utilization of poor quality roughages. In addition to their feed value, MPTs contribute to the environment, e.g. by conserving soil. However, some MPTs contain anti-nutritional factors which reduce their nutritive value. Trials in which gas production and rum...


Osuji, P.O.[Nutritional and anti-nutritional values of multipurpose trees used in agroforestry systems]Nutritional and anti-nutritional values of multipurpose trees used in agroforestry systems

Livestock under holdings of low-resource producers in the tropics are faced with a variety of feeds that are qualitatively and quantitatively deficient in available nutrients. Emerging practices of hay-making and inter-cropping of cereal with legumes have improved feed quality, but the lack of ap...

Discusses the ecology, germination, temperature, dormancy, water stress, salinity & alkalinity, water requirements, potential yields, feed value, and seed production of local fodder species used in current agricultural practice and of species which have been experimentally tested and subject to s...


Houerou, H.N. le[Resources and potential of the native flora for fodder and sown pasture production in the arid and semi-arid zones of North Africa]Resources and potential of the native flora for fodder and sown pasture production in the arid and semi-arid zones of North Africa

Discusses the role of chemical analysis in animal nutrition together with the main activities of the animal nutrition laboratory of ILCA. The compositional properties which could explain and interpret the nutritional quality of various feedstuffs, i.e., forages, crop residues and agro-industrial ...
