IFAD/CCFAS reinforcing the resilience of poor rural communities in the face of food insecurity, poverty and climate change through on-farm conservation of local agrobiodiversity by Gonsalves, Julian Francis

“…Develop and test new methods and tools in close partnership with farmers and value chain actors aimed at enhancing their capacities to sustainably conserve traditional crops and associated knowledge at the farm level; explore ways of integrating the monitoring of diversity on-farm, along with use-enhancement goals, through inter-disciplinary and multi-sector approaches; promote a more balanced complementary conservation agenda in national programmes, based on the need to combat genetic erosion and to meet the needs of agrobiodiversity users; and provide useful findings to guide further research related to climate change and its impact on species and varieties deployed in local production systems.…”

Body weight changes and reproductive performance of crossbred cows fed maize-lablab stover ad libitum and supplemented with graded levels of lablab hay by Mpairwe, D.R., Sabiiti, E.N., Umunna, N.N., Tegegne, Azage

“…Twenty-four multiparous Zebu × Friesian crossbred cows, were fed maize-lablab stover as basal diet and allocated to four graded levels of lablab hay (0%, 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2% BW) treatments in a study to investigate effects of levels of lablab supplementation on body weight changes and reproductive performance. Supplementation during the first 60 days post-partum resulted in reduced weight loss (p<0.05) of the cows from -82.9 g/day to a gain of +7.1 g/day. …”
