“…Three methods have been proposed by researchers to correct the low level of CP or nitrogen (N) in tropical forages. These consist in the application of an N fertilizer to the land, protein supplementation to livestock with agro-industrial by-products such as cottonseed meal, and the introduction of legume species to the forage mixture (13). With the rapidly growing population, this region is moreover faced with serious land degradation through overgrazing, erosion, bush fires and deforestation for fuel wood (12) and, consequently, with reduced grazing lands and poor quality pastures.…”
