Livestock feed resources in the West African Sahel

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 26-45, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract Limited supply of quality feed is the most important factor limiting livestock productivity in many sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries. Having a systematic inventory of available feed resources, identifying main challenges and potentials for improvement is the first step towards designing development strategies to improve feed quality and ...

Introducing ground cover management in pesticide emission modeling

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 274-288, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Ground cover management (GCM) is an important agricultural practice used to reduce weed growth, erosion and runoff, and improve soil fertility. In the present study, an approach to account for GCM is proposed in the modeling of pesticide emissions to evaluate the environmental sustainability of agricultural practices.

Evaluation of access to different legume pastures on performance and welfare of broiler chickens during dry season under tropical environment

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 1359-1368, July 2021., 2021
Abstract There have been a plethora of studies on the effects of access to runs on chickens’ welfare and behavioural repertoire with a paucity of information on the comparative advantage of various legume pasture and deep litter system. A total of 200‐day‐old unsexed Marshall Broiler chicks were weighed and assigned randomly into five experimental ...

Methane mitigating options with forages fed to ruminants

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 196-204, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Nutritional strategies, including feed management measures, are promising methods for CH4 and overall GHG reduction. Evidence from literature is reviewed in this article in relation to the effects of forage quality (digestible organic matter, DOM) and forage type (grasses vs. legumes, and maize).

EMS‐induced mutations in common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) and two mutants without anthocyanin accumulation showing increased cold tolerance

Grassland Science, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 148-155, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a leguminous plant used as forage and cover crops. A protocol of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)‐induced mutations was established in the present study, based on analysis of seed germination and emergence rate, seedling growth and abnormal plant percentage as affected by combinations of EMS concentration and ...
