Development of animal feed resources and the importance of agroforestry in relation to livestock production

Reviews the work being conducted by ILCA in relation to the Development of agroforestry materials and their utilization in the typical mixed crop-livestock farming systems of Ethiopia; evaluates germplasm of multipurpose trees for a range of environments and identifies best-bet lines for improved feed resources, improved management of soil fertility, and other purposes such as fuelwood and wood resources; and develops methods of managing these resources in alley farming systems for improved livestock nutrition and soil fertility maintenance.
