Integrating forage and feed advisory into iSAT for climate resilient livestock in Senegal
Livestock production is a cornerstone of Senegal’s rural economy, yet it faces persistent challenges of feed scarcity, low forage quality, and increasing climate variability. To address these constraints, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and partners convened a two-day workshop...

| description | Livestock production is a cornerstone of Senegal’s rural economy, yet it faces persistent
challenges of feed scarcity, low forage quality, and increasing climate variability. To address
these constraints, the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and partners
convened a two-day workshop (June 3–4, 2025, Mamelles, Senegal) dedicated to advancing
the iSAT (Intelligent Agricultural System Advisory Tool) platform for forage and livestock
feed advisory services. The workshop brought together 16 experts in forage agronomy,
animal nutrition, climatology, and data systems in a participatory process to co-design and
validate practical advisory tools. Key outputs included validated seasonal calendars for
priority forage species, decision trees for forage management that integrate climate risk
considerations, and initial protocols for balanced feed formulation. In addition, participants
explored market linkage models and established a WhatsApp group to sustain collaboration
and validate advisory messages beyond the event. These results represent a significant step
toward extending iSAT’s proven crop advisory services into livestock systems, thereby
enhancing climate resilience, improving productivity, and strengthening the economic
sustainability of agropastoral households in Senegal. |
