Download or read book Indigenous Multipurpose Fodder Trees Of Wolayta Zone Ethiopia written by Takele Geta Gina and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethiopia is believed to have the largest livestock population in Africa. This livestock sector has been contributing a considerable portion to national economy and 26% for agricultural GDP production and still promising to rally round the economic development of the country. The major limiting factor among others for livestock production is nutrition both in terms of quantity and quality. To curb the problem of feed availability, use of indigenous multipurpose fodder trees would be regarded as good option. Indigenous multipurpose fodder trees is a potentially expensive locally produced protein supplement for ruminants, particularly during the critical periods of the year when the quantity and quality of herbage is limited. Multipurpose fodder plant have high crude protein content, ranging from 10 to more than 25% on dry matter basis and may be considered as a more reliable feed resource of high quality to develop sustainable feeding systems and in increasing livestock productivity.
Download or read book Forage and Multipurpose Uses of Ficus Thonningii in Northern Ethiopia written by Mulubrhan Balehegn Gebremikael and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ficus thonnningii is an important fodder plant in Northern Ethiopia. Even if, oldest trees were planted for other purposes such as shade trees in churches and traditional meeting places, recurrent droughts have made local farmers to improvise using the drought resistant F. thonningii plants as dry season animal fodder and other multipurpose benefits. Currently, the merits of F. thonningii are well understood by local farmers who are cultivating the plant intensively for its various benefits, besides animal fodder.However, despite its intensive use by local people, it is not included in the list of mainstream fodder trees by local government and locals are being forced to adopt less adaptable and less productive species against their preference. This is mainly due to lack of scientific information which could support the adoption of F. thonningii as a fodder tree of multiple benefits in Northern Ethiopia. Mr. Mulubrhan has evaluated the local use, feed value, browse biomass production, and effects on soil fertility of of F. thonningii and has recommended its propagation and use in similar regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection showcases experiences from research and field projects in climate change adaptation on the African continent. It includes a set of papers presented at a symposium held in Addis Abeba in February 2016, which brought together international experts to discuss “fostering African resilience and capacity to adapt.” The papers introduce a wide range of methodological approaches and practical case studies to show how climate change adaptation can be implemented in regions and countries across the continent. Responding to the need for more cross-sectoral interaction among the various stakeholders working in the field of climate change adaptation, the book fosters the exchange of information on best practices across the African continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encyclopedia of Agriculture and Food Systems, Second Edition, Five Volume Set addresses important issues by examining topics of global agriculture and food systems that are key to understanding the challenges we face. Questions it addresses include: Will we be able to produce enough food to meet the increasing dietary needs and wants of the additional two billion people expected to inhabit our planet by 2050? Will we be able to meet the need for so much more food while simultaneously reducing adverse environmental effects of today’s agriculture practices? Will we be able to produce the additional food using less land and water than we use now? These are among the most important challenges that face our planet in the coming decades. The broad themes of food systems and people, agriculture and the environment, the science of agriculture, agricultural products, and agricultural production systems are covered in more than 200 separate chapters of this work. The book provides information that serves as the foundation for discussion of the food and environment challenges of the world. An international group of highly respected authors addresses these issues from a global perspective and provides the background, references, and linkages for further exploration of each of topics of this comprehensive work. Addresses important challenges of sustainability and efficiency from a global perspective. Takes a detailed look at the important issues affecting the agricultural and food industries today.

The objective of the first one was to examine the role of yeast culture, based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a rumen modifier and to examine the viability of yeast cells in the rumen and their mode of action in stimulating fermentation. For this purpose, two in vitro and four in vivo experiments were carried out.
Download or read book Livestock and water interactions in mixed crop livestock farming systems of Sub Saharan Africa interventions for improved productivity written by Descheemaeker, Katrien and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on mixed crop-livestock farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa, this review brings together the available knowledge in the various components of the livestock and water sectors. Through an analysis of livestock-water interactions, promising strategies and interventions to improve Livestock Water Productivity are proposed. In the biophysical domain, the numerous interventions relate to feed, water and animal management. These are interlinked with interventions in the socio-political-economic domain. The paper identifies critical research and development gaps in terms of methodologies for quantifying water productivity and integrating different scales, and also in terms of institutions and policies.

Although the major focus of the book is on the tropics, where the practice and potential of agroforestry are particularly promising, the developments in temperate zone agroforestry are also discussed. This text is recommended for students, teachers, and researchers in agroforestry, farming systems, and tropical land use.
