Presents papers dealing with the use of crop residues as livestock feed in smallholder crop/livestock farming systems, and the role of plant breeding in maintaining or improving their nutritive value. Discusses factors limiting the nutritive value of crop residues, and the effect of genotype and...


Reed, Jess D.Capper, Brian S.Neate, Paul J.H.[Plant breeding and the nutritive value of crop residues. Proceedings of a workshop]Plant breeding and the nutritive value of crop residues. Proceedings of a workshop

Mainly deals with the utilization of crop residues, performance of animals fed crop residues, supplementation for crop residues, and analysis for nutritive value. Focuses on Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, Egypt, Nigeria, Cameroon, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Ethiopia & Mauritius.

Crop residue use for soil mulch and animal feed are the two major competing purposes and the basic source of fundamental challenge in conservation agriculture (CA) where residue retention on farm plots is one of the three CA principles. Using survey data from Kenya and applying bivariate ordered ...

Population increases, land-use changes and marketing opportunities are important factors affecting crop-livestock integra- tion particularly with respect to their effect on soil fertility and feed supply for ruminant livestock. As the human population density rises, crop farmers and grazers are f...

Irish potato (Solonaum tuberosum L.) is An important leading tuber crop in Ethiopia. It is an important food security and cash crop for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. However, the yield of the crop is low at national as well as regional levels which, constrained mainly by low soil fertility. A ...

Conservation agriculture (CA) and no-till (NT)-based cropping systems could address soil degradation and fertility decline in southern Africa. A multi-location and multi-year experiment was carried out between 2008 and 2014 to assess the effects of different levels of maize residue biomass (0, 2,...

Undersowing sorghum with stylo as a means of improving fodder quality for dry-season grazing of livestock in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was investigated. Planting either Stylosanthes guianeusis cv 'Cook' or S. hamata cv 'Verano' simultaneously with local or improved varieties of sorghum reduced...
