... This might be Masaba variety does not fully fl ower at the highland to give the seed rather it provides fresh biomass grass. The result of this study was similar to [25] as more yield was obtained from ILRI-7384 than Masaba and the seed yield of Rhodes grass production on farmers' land can be 0.6-6.5 qt/ha [26]. ...
... Te livestock sector in Ethiopia is characterized by low productivity due to insufcient availability of afordable high-quality animal feed all year, with especially acute gaps in the country's drought-prone regions. Cultivated foragebased diets are critical to meeting animal feed requirements while reducing GHG emissions [96][97][98]. In growing animals, diets having more than 85% cultivated forages can support a daily body weight gain of up to 1 kg. ...
