Feeding of small ruminants (sheep and goats) with emphasis on dry season feed supplementation
1987
Awuma, K. (Ministry of Agriculture, Accra (Ghana))
The conflict that results between food crop cultivation and livestock farming in the wet season using the mixed farming system is discussed. The conflict gives rise to the restricted feeding for goats and sheep which otherwise destroy crops, and the relegation of their rearing to the background. Farmers are advised in this circumstance, as to what feed grasses to use during the wet season, and the treatment and type of feedstuffs to use during the dry season where herbage production is low and feed grasses have low feeding value, to maintain healthy growth and good yields
