Livestock experts and district administrators were interviewed and shared their experiences with feed challenges in the district and how the district authorities are closely working with the Africa RISING and Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) projects to increase livestock feed access for farmers. Currently, 265 farmers in the district have adopted feed and forage technologies such as oats, fodder beet, desho grass and alfalfa, and the results are promising.

Under the Africa RISING project in Ethiopia, the improved troughs have been designed, tested and evaluated for feeding cattle, sheep and goats. Results from monitoring the use of the improved feed troughs in four sites in Ethiopia showed that they saved 27% of the feed biomass offered to the animals compared to the traditional feed troughs. This film highlights the works of Africa RISING in helping smallholder farmers with this improved technology. yt:video:8vOeKi82E3U 8vOeKi82E3U UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw 2022-03-31T11:54:34+00:00 2023-06-12T05:30:27+00:00 Brachiaria establishment and haymaking in ILRI Nigeria demonstration plots From June–December 2021, the ILRI Nigeria team demonstrated to peri-urban farmers how to plant Brachiaria grass and process it into hay.

In Ethiopia livestock contributes up to 46% of the country’s agricultural GDP and the need for sustainable livestock feeds is high in many parts of the country. This film highlights the works of Africa RISING in helping smallholder farmers to increase forage production in a sustainable way and meet the feed demand.

However, a visit to farmers in Eastern and Southern provinces of Rwanda during the country's dry season in July revealed that the climate smart Brachiaria grass—or ivugbwe as it is known locally—has the potential to extend forage availability throughout the year. In this 5-minute video, Rwandan dairy farmers talk about why Brachiaria grass has quickly become a favourite forage for their livestock. yt:video:ZRPoLcq-DZ8 ZRPoLcq-DZ8 UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw 2017-05-24T07:32:04+00:00 2023-06-12T06:26:08+00:00 Scaling up forage varieties in SIMLESA Ethiopia sites This film highlights ILRI's work in helping smallholder farmers increase forage production in the Sustainable Intensification of Maize and Legume Systems for Food Security in Eastern and Southern Africa (SIMLESA) Program sites in Ethiopia. yt:video:U_eH0wPumZA U_eH0wPumZA UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_3Lza_tjzG7gWz5_xCMYCw 2016-11-21T20:33:51+00:00 2023-06-12T06:02:48+00:00 Moving away from gender blind tools: Engendering the livestock feed assessment tool The “FEAST” livestock feed-assessment tool has been widely promoted and adopted, but as time passed the research team started receiving feedback. They were told that the tool was gender-blind. So the researchers adapted the tool to measure gender-related issues. Pretesting showed that the tool had missed a lot of important information – on roles, problems, preferences, etc. The team also reviewed the process of gathering data and checking its accuracy (for example, making separate groups of men and women). The tool has improved tremendously, but it now takes double the time to apply. The researchers want to keep the tool acceptable and popular while making it better at reflecting gender realities.
