| Project title | Participatory evaluation of techniques to improve the utilization of crop residues by farm households |
| Project abstract | Crop residues have become an important source of feed for livestock in the highlands of Ethiopia because of the diminishing size of grazing lands and lack of pasture for grazing. A considerable amount of crop residue biomass is watsed annually because of poor storage condition and utilization practices. The objective of this research is to conduct participatoy evaluation of improved techniques that can minimize wastage and maintain the quality of crop residue biomass for livestcok feed. |
