Abstract: |
Feed shortage and poor quality of available feeds are major constraints for livestock production in the highlands of Ethiopia. A trial was conducted to assess if producing irrigated oat-vetch fodder during the dry period could adequately supplement the diet of fattening sheep and generate additional income for smallholders. For this purpose, a group of interested farmers from two districts (Lemo and Angacha) in southern Ethiopia were sensitized and trained to produce oat-vetch fodder with irrigation using water from shallow wells as well as manual pumps. A total of 14 farmers participated in the trail with each farmer fattening 5 sheep for about 70 days by supplementing approximately 200 g dry matter oat-vetch fodder per day. This dataset contains the body weight development of the sheep and the nutritional composition of local feed resources and the supplemental irrigated fodder used for the experiment. |

Time Period: |
2014-2015 |
|
Date of Collection: |
2014-2015 |
|
Country: |
Ethiopia, Ethiopia |
|
Geographic Coverage: |
Lemo, Southern region, Southern region, Angacha |
|
Geographic Unit(s): |
Farm |
|
Unit of Analysis: |
The basic unit of analysis for this dataset are individual animals which received supplemental irrigated oat-vetch fodder |
|
Universe: |
The research data applies to highland area of Ethiopia (2000 meter above see level) where oat-vetch fodder grows well. It also applies to other tropical African regions with humid and sub-humid climates |
|
Kind of Data: |
experimental data |
|
Methodology and Processing |
|
|
Sampling Procedure: |
The experiment was conducted on farm using a total of seventy yearling Doyogena sheep purchased and acclimatized to the experimental setting. Five sheep were fattened per farmer using local feed resources and oat-vetch as an additional supplement. |
