The Role of Conserved Range Forges During Summer Season of Babanousa Area

Elkheir Mugadam Salih, Mohammed Abdo Dosougi, Mohammed abdelkreim

Abstract


The cattle of the Messerya– nomadic tribes surrounding Babanosa (west Kordofan) usually suffer from shortage of grazing during summer time. The abundant forage production after the grazing Season (Autumn) encourages the conservation techniques as silage and hay which were used for ruminant in most parts of the world, so, the remaining range plants in the area especially Zornia diphylla can be harvested during the flowering stage and conserved whether as silage or hay to be used as feed for livestock during summer time.


Keywords


hay, silage, crude protein, crude fiber, dominant plant species, Relative frequency, density.
