“…Furthermore, Habte et al . (2021) found that different camel forages have a significant seasonal discrepancy in chemical composition (fat and protein contents) and quality; for example, crude protein content is higher in wet seasons than in dry seasons.…”

Camel milk is becoming more popular worldwide, and this review aims to estimate the calorie count of camel milk and establish whether calorie value differs in camel milk among different species, countries, seasons and years of publication. The DerSimonian–Laird estimator was utilised to create fix and random‐effects meta‐analysis. This systematic review and meta‐analysis included 7236 camel milk samples, which were extracted from 75 studies. The random effects of camel milk calorie are 61 Kcal/100 mL, and our findings revealed that camel milk calorie values are varied by species, country and season; this variation is mainly related to discrepancies in energy‐containing macronutrients.

“…Terefore, food scarcity is a signifcant problem in most of Ethiopia's highland regions from December to February, but less so from October to November. Furthermore, pastures and crop residues are typically scarce and inadequate quality during the dry season [54]. Climate change, particularly drought, reduces pasture and crop production.…”

Sustainable farm animal raising is dependent on the production of sufficient quantities and quality of forages and fodder, especially in dry regions. Improved forage and feed species are an option for these aspects because adequate feed resources enhance soil health and carbon, generate income, and reduce emissions. Therefore, the purpose of this review paper was to investigate the role of climate-smart forage production in sustaining farm animal production and maintaining the environment in arid and semiarid regions. Seasonal fluctuations in feed supply cause temporal scarcity in Ethiopia, with more acute gaps in dry periods, particularly in drought-prone regions. To address these problems in the country, improve forages to strengthen farm productivity, climate change resilience, and environmental sustainability, particularly in arid and semiarid areas. The country has a long history and is of some exemplary practices in indigenous improved forage production, but the input of improved forage to the total biomass production in feed resources is still low due to many factors like scarcity of land and water for irrigation, lack of awareness, forage seed, and policy recommendations. Despite the potential profits of feed and forage grasses and legumes, the availability of species adapted to a wide range of situations in actual use in the livestock sector has been insufficient. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that climate-resilient forage species be popularized to sustain livestock production and the environment, particularly in the country’s arid and semiarid regions.

“…The leaves, fruits, dried or fresh parts (e.g. stems) are used for making corrals (kraal), house ceilings, building poles, spoons, grain stores, tool handles, walking sticks, and forage for cattle and camels in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Yemen (18,19,34,35,45,50). The branches are used in Kenya (51) and South Western Ethiopia (52) to purify drinking water in which they are added and left to soak in the water for several hours.…”

Euclea divinorum Hiern (Ebenaceae) is a medicinal plant widely used in Yemen, Eastern and Southern Africa in traditional phytotherapy. This review was an attempt to compile a comprehensive report on its ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemicals, pharmacological activities, and toxicity, lending credence to the use of its various parts in herbal medicine. The literature encountered indicated that herbal formularies from different parts of Euclea divinorum (E. divinorum) are majorly used for traditional treatment of odontological, dermatological, respiratory, reproductive, and gastrointestinal ailments. At least 18 compounds have been isolated and characterized in extracts of E. divinorum, while 31 others have been identified in the crude extracts analyzed by GC-MS. Extracts, as well as isolated compounds from E. divinorum stem, stem barks, leaves, and roots, showed renoprotective, antiproliferative, antinociceptive, contractile, proteolytic, diuretic, antiprotozoal, anti-giardial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, molluscicidal, and insecticidal activities. Further research is warranted to explore other pharmacological properties such as antisnake venom, aphrodisiac, antidiabetic, analgesic, and antimycobacterial activities and the responsible bioactive compounds in the different parts of E. divinorum claimed in herbal medicine. The composition and bioactivities of essential oils from this species also warrant further studies.
