Investigation of factors affecting the nutritive value of Calliandra calothyrsus leaf as fodder for ruminants. Final Technical Report
Abstract
R6549 comprised two phases. These were substantially different: Phase 1 (1996-2001) consisted mainly of bio-physical, on-station research on factors affecting the nutritive value of the leguminous shrub Calliandra calothyrsus (‘calliandra’) when used as a fodder for ruminants. In contrast, the research under Phase 2 comprised a series of socio-economic studies associated with adoption and impact of fodder shrubs (including, but not limited to, calliandra), and issues associated with the scaling up of their uptake by smallholder farmers.
