Energy and protein balances in traditional livestock systems and ranching in eastern Botswana
N. de Ridder,K.T. Wagenaar +1 more
TL;DR: Gross energy and crude protein balances of cattle in traditional systems and ranching in eastern Botswana have been estimated in this paper, which shows that ranching is more productive on a per animal basis while traditional systems are more productive in a per hectare basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of maintenance energy requirements of beef cattle and sheep.
L. E. R. Dawson,R. W. J. Steen +1 more
TL;DR: An estimate of metabolizable energy required for maintenance (MEm) was obtained and the estimates were proportionately 0·34 higher in cattle and 0·32 higher in sheep than the 1990 values of the UK Agricultural and Food Research Council.

Energy requirements for maintenance and growth of Dorper crossbred ram lambs
TL;DR: The energy requirements of Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred ram lambs were lower than those recommended by the British or American nutritional systems.
Sustainable intensification of crop– livestock systems through manure management in eastern and western Africa: Lessons learned and emerging research opportunities
André Bationo,S.M. Nandwa,J.M. Kimetu,James Kinyangi,BV Bado,François Lompo,Stephen K. Kimani,FM Kihanda,Saidou Koala +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of manure on soil productivity and ecosystem functions and services is discussed, and highlights of the management practices required to increase manure use efficiency are discussed, followed by highlights of emerging new research opportunities in soil fertility management to enhance crop-livestock integration.
