ABSTRACT
Most dictionaries define forage as food for browsing or
grazing animals especially domestics livestock. According to Givens(2000)
forages are grown to b confirmed by livestock, provide habitat for wild life
and to protect the soil from crosion. Fo. tge maybe native or induced. The t\vo
main groups of forages are gr4sses and legumes Among the constraints facing
livestock development in Afiic, mad juate feed supplies stands out as one of
the most important. Seasonal variations ii feed q uantity and quality cause
fluctuations in animals nutrition and productivity throughout e year (Anderson,
1985) . Livestock depends on forage for survival , they also dpend on natural
browse, crop residues and agricultural by products especially during c rough
vhen green forage growth become limited. Since most farmers rear more anini ils
ni Jer semi intensive system resulting in new feed and feeding activities being
introdi cod s h as cultivation of pastwe and fodder crops on the farm or
prQvide lots which may i olude leguininous browse, shrubs and Cenimserna fodder
conservation as well is pur hase of other feed resources
