The wider use and improved performance of planted tropical forages can substantially change social, economic and environmental landscapes. By reviewing impact-related studies published in the past two decades, this paper shows how evolving development priorities have influenced the types of impac...

Seventy Sudan desert rams about one year old were purchased from Omdurman livestock market during September 1976 and taken to Khartoum university farm where they were ear tagged, weighed and divided into four groups of 16 animals each. The rations fed for the four group of animals were: Ration I:...

Twenty-five male Shugor, 25 female Shugor, 25 male Watish and 25 female Watish lambs, individually fed for 57 days, were used to study post-weaning growth performance and carcass composition of these breed types when subjected to a period of intensive feeding. Means and standard error of means of...

A ten-week trail was conducted to assess the nutritive value of molasses urea blocks (MUBs) for feeding sheep in the Sudan. Sixteen adult wethers of the Sudan Desert sheep of 51.8± 0.1 kg average liveweight were used. After a three-week preliminary period, the animals were divided according to li...
