Small−holder farming in semi−arid areas is being forced to change to compensate for the needs of more people living under conditions of increasingly variable rainfall. As more land is used for agriculture, rangeland areas are reduced, so limiting the availability of animal fodder. The length of fallow periods where soil fertility may be restored is also reduced. This has forced herders and farm...

to study the effects of intercropping fodder sorghum with pearl millet at different row proportions and plant densities, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran in 2005. the experimental design was a split plot with three replications. three different densities of 200000, 270000 and 340000 plants per hectare were as main factor and seven different planting propo...

The aims of this study were to assess the potential radioactive contamination of fodder in the case of accidental radionuclide fallout, and to analyse the relationship between interception and retention of radionuclides as a function of biomass and Leaf Area Index (LAI). The interception and the retention of wet deposited (134)Cs and (85)Sr in ley (a mixture of grass and clover) were measured a...

BACKGROUND Traditional knowledge of indigenous plants is pivotal in developing strategies to feed livestock sustainably in low input systems. Likewise, in Pakistan the indigenous people of Central Punjab have been using their regional grasses as a ruminant fodder for centuries. This study evaluated the indigenous traditional knowledge to ascertain the value of various fodder grasses to optimise...

Factors influencing respiratory consequences of dairy farming have not been extensively investigated to date. To evaluate the effects of barn fodder drying on respiratory symptoms and lung function, a 5 yr follow-up study was performed in the Doubs (France). A cohort of male dairy farmers was analysed in 1990. The initial cross-sectional results suggested that barn-drying fodder may protect dai...
