Animal Source Foods such as milk, meat and eggs are essential for human nutrition. Demand is increasing and this offers multiple opportunities for livestock producers. However, sustainable productivity and efficiency gains are needed, addressing both seasonal and inter-annual variation. Feed is a...


Peters, MichaelJones, Christopher S.Duncan, Alan J.Castiblanco, V.Ohmstedt, U.Rüdiger, U.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.Burkart, Stefan[Feeds and Forages in the Livestock CGIAR Research Program]Feeds and Forages in the Livestock CGIAR Research Program

Despite the profound livestock importance in eastern Africa, livestock productivity remains low attributable to a number of challenges. One of the major drawbacks is lack of quality feeds and forages. This results in poor animal performance and suboptimal use of resources. Intertwined with this l...

The important position and role of mixed farming systems in land use intensification in subSaharan Africa is reviewed. This is done by examining the current situation that is followed with a justification for mixed farming. Further sections follow on changing patterns of land use, including the e...

Agriculture in the dry savannas is intensifying in response to increasing populations of humans and livestock. As a result, increased productivity demands are placed upon integrated crop-livestock systems and more emphasis is on the roles of legumes such as cowpea. Cowpea has the potential to fun...
