Abstract

One of the most pressing constraints facing dryland livestock farmers is the limited availability of feed – a significant threat to the fertility and performance of herds, a mainstay of agricultural production systems in arid and semi-arid regions. Sustainable and cost-effective solutions are therefore desperately needed to provide a stable source of nutrients capable of maintaining healthy reproductive cycles. To this end, Dryland Systems scientists from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), and their national partners at Jordan’s National Center for Agricultural Research and Extension (NCARE), have initiated discussions on current problems and the practices required to rehabilitate rangelands and improve resting and feed calendars. - See more at: http://drylandsystems.cgiar.org/content/managing-feed-resources-jordan%E2%80%99s-agro-pastoral-production-systems#sthash.ZGXM72VM.LO3fp9GW.dpuf
