This study examined the effects of lablab hay and graded levels of wheat bran supplementation on feed intake, feed degradation characteristics, apparent digestibility, milk yield and milk composition of crossbred cows fed forages from cereal crops+legume intercropping (maize/lablab (ML) stover or...

Low phosphorus (P) supply is a major limitation to pasture establishment and production in highly weathered acid soils. Previous research showed that the forage legume, Arachis pintoi, was more efficient in acquiring P from infertile acid soils than the forage grass, Brachiaria dictyoneura. The m...

Differences in phosphorus acquisition from less available inorganic and organic sources of phosphate

Livestock in south-east Asia are used for a wide variety of purposes. In many regions, there is an increasing demand for animal protein but, at the same time, increasing population pressure is pushing livestock on to more marginal lands. These marginal lands are generally uplands where soils are ...

Discusses ILCA's forage legume work in the Ethiopian highlands with particular reference to trifolium including germplasm collection. Presents data on DM yield, CP percentage and DM digestibility of four trifolium spp. and vicia villosa grown at Shola (Ethiopia) in 1981.


Kahurananga, J.[ILCA's forage legume work in the Ethiopian highlands]ILCA's forage legume work in the Ethiopian highlands

Presents the dry matter yields of 9 trifolium species fertilized at various P levels on a black clay vertisol (PH6) at ILCA's head quarters near Addis Ababa (elevation 2400m, rainfall 1300 mm).

Arachis pintoi is a valuable forage legume for tropical savannas, persisting with vigorous tropical grasses under widely differing management systems. However, seed is expensive, so that vegetative planting is an option, particularly for small farmers. We studied the growth and development of A. ...

The potential of pastures sown with species mixtures of tropical legume species compared with single species was investigated in subhumid west Africa, over a period of three grazing seasons. Through compensation and complementation of the individual legume species, the mixtures were seasonally an...

Poverty, low crop and animal productivity and large scale resource degradation are major problems in the agriculture sector in the East African highlands. Among others, integration of forage legumes in cereal based cropping systems has been proposed as a promising strategy to improve the sustaina...

Soil fertility is declining in most agro-ecosystems in sub-Saharan Africa, and incorporation of forage legumes into production systems to utilize the nitrogen fixed by the legumes could alleviate the problem, if efficient nitrogen-fixing legumes are used. The amounts of nitrogen fixed by Lablab, ...
