Optimising the use of barley straw in tropical ruminant diets

Book - Dissertation

Due to the decline in grazing land, the degradation through overgrazing, and the expansion of arable cropping in tropical countries, the contribution of crop residues for animal feeding becomes increasingly important. The overall aim of this dissertation was to improve total barley biomass utilization for food and feed use through the dual-purpose evaluation of barley varieties for mixed livestock-barley production in Ethiopia highlands.
