The utilisation of complete cereal-based diets differing in roughage inclusion level by Matabele goats and Sabi sheep por Hatendi, P.R., Ndlovu, L.R., Smith, T., Said, A.N.

“…Diet digestibility and the degradability and rate of passage of the roughage fraction were measured for four maize-based diets containing either 50 per cent (VH50), 33 per cent (VH33), 22 per cent (VH22) or 10 per cent (VH10) roughage as natural rangeland (veld) hay. Treatment diets were offered ad libitum to castrate Matabele goats (46.4 (+ or -) 1.81 kg) and Sabi sheep (49.4 (+ or -) 1.8 kg) in an incomplete paired latin square (4 diets and 3 periods). …”

Spatial correlates of land-use changes in the Maasai-Steppe of Tanzania: Implications for conservation and environmental planning por Msoffe, F.U., Said, Mohammed Yahya, Ogutu, Joseph O., Kifugo, S.C., Leeuw, Jan de, Gardingen, P. van, Reid, Robin S.

“…Further, the global model used for the prediction of probability of land-conversions to agriculture suggested future expansions will be constrained by values of the biophysical variables analysed here. The rapidity of rangeland conversions to farming in the study area presents a major threat to wildlife conservation and disrupts the ecosystems viability in supporting its rich biodiversity and the agro-pastoral livelihood. …”

Mapping a livestock-oriented agricultural production system classification for the developing regions of the world por Kruska, Russell L., Reid, Robin S., Thornton, Philip K., Henninger, N., Kristjanson, Patricia M.

“…These livestock systems fall into four categories: landless systems, livestock only/rangeland-based systems (areas with minimal cropping), mixed rainfed systems (mostly rainfed cropping combined with livestock) and mixed irrigated systems (a significant proportion of cropping uses irrigation and is interspersed with livestock). …”
