Methane emissions from ruminant livestock represent a loss of carbon during feed conversion, which has implications for both animal productivity and the environment because this gas is considered to be one of the more potent forms of greenhouses gases contributing to global warming. Many strategies to reduce emissions are targeting the methanogens that inhabit the rumen, but suchanapproachcanon...

Introduction Despite growing interest in gender analysis value chains, comparatively few studies have analyzed relations small ruminant chains using sex-disaggregated quantitative data livestock-based systems. Methods Drawing on baseline from the Small Ruminant Value Chain Development Program (SRVD) Ethiopia, this study aims to address two research questions: what is status along chain stages a...

Growing pearl millet and cowpea in combination with raising ruminant livestock is widely practised in the Sahel. In this farming system, livestock feeding depends mostly on rangeland, fallows and cropland grazing. Nutritional constraints to grazing ruminants stem primarily from feed scarcity and seasonal fluctuations in feed supply associated with low rainfall and poor soil fertility. Low feed ...
