Tropical Forages for More Intensive Livestock Productio... ^Featured

Livestock are vitally important for many of Asia's poorest rural communities. Small- and medium-sized animals in particular provide significant sources of food and cash. Medium-sized and large animals also form a central part of the social safety net, since they can be sold to meet major household needs or in case other components of the farming system fail. As farmers expand livestock production, they quickly discover the limits of naturally occurring forages and recognize the need for better feed resources. As a first step toward meeting this need, CIAT staff evaluated a wide range of tropical grasses and legumes for diverse agroecosystems and uses. They selected about 40 broadly adapted forages from an original collection that included 400 accessions of numerous species.
