Climate change negatively affects the livestock productivity through decreasing the quality, quantity and availability of feed and forage. Scarcity of feed and forage is a challenge that is inevitable and propels the need to target climate-resilient feed resources to improve livestock productivity and improve farmers' income. Therefore, the feed assessment tool (FEAST/Techfit) presents feed interventions which have a potential to mitigate feed scarcity and feed quality constrains. These interventions include:
1. Fodder trees and shrubs which is a good intervention where feed quality constrains livestock productivity.
2. Short duration fodder crops such as maize, oats, sorghum, are a good option in areas where feed scarcity is the major constrain for livestock productivity.
