This series of two papers describes a mechanistic model that simulates within years the
productivity of vegetation and livestock on the communal semi-arid rangeland of the …

The grazing behaviour of two mixed flocks of sheep and goats on a Sahelian rangeland was
observed in the Far North Province of Cameroon. The area was dominated by thorn shrubs …

Large amounts of crop residues are produced annually globally which are hitherto rendered
waste. Various farm wastes ie crop residue have been effectively, efficiently and …

Although goats are common domestic browsers in African savannas, factors that affect their
diet selection and food intake rate are poorly understood. This study used a cafeteria-style …

The Global Positioning System (GPS) and sensors technologies are increasingly used to
study the grazing behavior of animals. This work was conducted to understand the grazing …

Livestock rearing often remain the sole means of livelihood in agro-pastoral communities
harboring in rural mountainous settings. This study documents the characteristics, altitudinal …

This study was conducted to determine the influence of plant chemical, physical and
phenology properties on diet selection of Nguni goats during the dry, early wet and late wet …

The changes in forage availability and the physicochemical variability of plants influence the
diet selection by herbivores. In this study, the foraging behavior of Creole goats was studied …

Palatability is a type of plant characteristic that determines the stimulation of plants or its
parts or feed as stimulated by the sensory impulses of grazing animals (Heath et al., 1985) …

Seasonal variation in the feeding behaviour of Jamunapari and Barbari goat breeds and
their utilization of browse and grass nutrients was evaluated in a promising three-tier (Acacia …
