Seasonal patterns of energy allocation to basal metabolism, activity and production for livestock in a nomadic pastoral ecosystem

Presents energy budgets and estimates of forage intake requirements developed for adult camels, cattle, sheep and goats managed by nomads of the arid Turkana district of north - western Kenya. Includes data on livestock activity patterns, diet quality, weight changes and milk yields with literature...
