recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Agroforestry Systems"

DOI: 10.1007/s10457-019-00378-4

Abstract: The main constraints in the ruminant production systems in the tropics are low availability and quality of forage during the dry season. An alternative that could mitigate the lack of food during periods of scarcity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10457-019-00473-6

Abstract: Fodder banks are important agroforestry technologies that improve access to off-season livestock feed among smallholder farmers. However, fodder banks also contribute to nutrient mining, through biomass transfer, and therefore their sustainably may be downplayed. In order… read more here.
