In many tropical areas, the main constraint to increased output of
livestock products is the inability of producers to feed animals
adequately throughout the year. Yet opportunities exist to enhance
ruminant livestock feed supplies by using crop residues, such as
cereal straw and legume haulms. Greater emphasis is therefore now
being placed on vegetative production in plant breeding research.
Crop residues also play an important role in conserving soil
moisture, preventing erosion and providing products such as fuel or
thatch for smallholders. This book provides a multi-disciplinary
perspective on crop residues, bringing together crop, animal and
social scientists from six continents. It has been developed from
papers presented at a workshop held in April 1996, at ICRISAT Asia
Center, as part of the Systemwide Livestock Program of the
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)
convened by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI),
based in Africa. It will appeal to a wide readership in disciplines
as diverse as agronomy, soil science, plant breeding, animal
nutrition and socio-economics.
