Utilization of agricultural by-products as livestock feeds in Africa. Proceedings of a workshop
Presents results of studies on the utilization of agricultural by-products as livestock feeds in Africa. Discusses methods of estimating the nutritive value of fibre residues and feed legumes, feed intake and digestibility, prospects of utilizing urea-treated maize stover, agroindustrial by-products and the chemical analysis of feeds.
Utilization of research results on forage and agricultural by-product materials as animal feed resources in Africa. Proceedings of the first joint workshop
Presents and discusses research results on feed resources, agroindustrial by-products utilisation, forage production, use of crop residues, dairy feeding systems, feeding strategies, introduction and adoption of improved forage technologies, nutritive value of different forages, effects of management on animal performance, effect of supplements on feed utilisation, potential of agricultural by-products as animal feeds, and effects of management on pasture grasses & legumes; and evaluates the utilisation of these results by smallholders.
Using innovation platforms to stimulate innovation and multi-stakeholder interaction in small ruminant value chains
Vaccination as a way forward? A case study on how a poultry vaccination intervention influences poultry keeping in Kenya
Poultry is important for many poor smallholders, but infectious diseases, such as Newcastle disease, can drastically reduce the poultry population in a village and affects the food security and the livelihood of many farmers. Newcastle disease vaccination can reduce the spread of disease, but may be hard to access for smallholders if there is not a supportive system in place. In this paper, a district in Kenya is studied where there has been support for vaccination.

Uptake of integrated termite management for the rehabilitation of degraded land in East Africa: A research into use baseline study in Diga, Ethiopia
Valuation and sustainable management of crop and livestock biodiversity: a review of applied economics literature
This paper is part of the follow-up to the workshop “Managing Agricultural Biodiversity for Sustainable Development” organized by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) for the CGIAR System-wide Genetic Resources Programme (SGRP) and hosted by the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), Nairobi, Kenya (23-25 October, 2003, Nairobi, Kenya).
Using participatory research and gender analysis in natural resource management
The use of participatory tools and methods has increased dramatically in
natural resource management (NRM) over the past decade, largely because of
the recognition that sustainable NRM cannot be achieved without involving the
individuals and communities who make decisions about how resources are
used. Participation of resource users and other stakeholders is important not
only in the management of resources, but also in research oriented toward the
generation of information and innovations that shape how resources are
