The impact of grazing on physical properties of Vertisol was studied from 1996 to
2000 in the Ethiopian highlands. The study was conducted at two sites with 0-4 %
and 4-8 % slopes at Tero Jemjem watershed in Ginchi, 80 km west of Addis
Ababa. The main objective of this work was to study effect of...

Two studies were conducted between 1991 and 1993 to assess the impact of grazing improved natural pasture at different stocking densities on animal and vegetation responses. In the first grazing season, goats of the West African Dwarf (WAD) breed were grazed at four stocking densities. Wet-season...

Over a grazing period of about 14 weeks, comparisons were made between pasture improved with Stylosanthes hamata and that based on natural grassland. The grazing densities ranged from 2.11 to 4.23 TLU/ha (Tropical Livestock Unit = 250 kg liveweight). Both pastures were grazed in the previous wet ...

Sxity-four Azawak male calves were used to study the effect of nocturnal grazing (NG) and supplementation (S) in the dry season on forage and water intake, faecal output, eating time and weight changes of cattle in the Sahel. Treatments were factorial combinations of four levels of NG (0, 2, 4 an...

Efffects of livestock grazing on surface runoff and soil erosion at varying slopes were studied in pasture lands within Ginchi watershed, Ethiopia. The results showed that livestock grazing in the watershed followed distinct seasonal and spatial patterns during the rainy season, grazing pressure ...

The species composition of grazing lands can be influenced by livestock and grazing pressure. A study on manure seed bank was conducted in Ghinchi highland Research Site in Ethiopia between 1995 and 1997. the data on species composition and life-form of the plants germinating in pots receiving ai...
