Abstract:BackgroundIn Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) livestock production and productivity are severely restricted by the scarce supply of feedstuffs and forage crops, while those available are often of low nutritional quality resulting in poor animal productivity and leading to widespread malnutrition among the public, particularly women and children. Traditionally, several tropical forage crops have been used in the region both in the rangelands and as cut-and-carry cropping systems, but limited research attention has been… Show more
