Africa RISING-In many situations smallhoder farmers under-feed or waste feed due to inappropriate feeding practices resulting from inadequate information on the nutrient content of available feed resources. Common grazed forage species were sampled in communal grazing land in Northern Ghana and analyzed to determine the nutritive value as the common feed resources in Northern Ghana .
Data and Resources
-
forage nutrient composition
Crops residues commonly fed to ruminants by smallholder farmers were sampled at crop maturity from October to November 2014 and analyzed for their chemical composition to determined the quality of these fodder as the second common feed resources in Northern Ghana to help in sustainable feeding practices
