The forage quality of shrub legume species planted in acid soils of the llanos and forest margins of Colombia was evaluated by the Tropical Forages Program (TFP) of CIAT. Results showed differences in quality among and within species. Species free of tannins such as Cratylia argentea and Desmodiu...
Results of two completed and one continuing feeding/growth trials are discussed. When fed Panicum maximum plus concentrates ad lib, West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks attain a growth rate of 60 gd-1 at a DDMI of 53.3g kg0.75d-1 , which is estimated to be approximately 1.8 times the DDMI needed for ma...
Discusses the nutritive value of the crop residue and byproducts from groundnuts in relation to the potential influence that crop improvement programs could have on improving their utilization by livestock. Compares nutritional composition and in vitro digestibility of groundnut cake, cottonseed ...
A study carried out to determine the chemical composition of Crotalaria ochroleuca ("marejea") at three stages of growth pre-anthesis, anthesis and post-anthesis. Feeding trials were conducted to study the effect of "marejea" supplementation of low quality Chloris gayana hay on the growth rate an...
Mixed crop-lvestock production system is the major agricultural production system in Ethiopia with a wide array of Development challenges and opportunities. One of the key challenge in improving the agricultural productivity of the system is feed scarcity and undernutrition. The major basal feed ...
The first part of the paper describes the predominant livestock production systems in sub-Saharan Africa. The second part discusses free resources available to the smallholders, feed resources available to the estate/large scale farmers, production levels of crop residues and agro-industrial by-p...
