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:<br \/>\n1. Fodder trees and shrubs which is a good intervention where feed quality constrains livestock productivity.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the link below to find out more about the feed interventions<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/feeding-innovation.ilri.org\/2017\/02\/27\/feast-feed-sheets\/\">https:\/\/feeding-innovation.ilri.org\/2017\/02\/27\/feast-feed-sheets\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate change negatively affects the livestock productivity through decreasing the quality, quantity and availability of feed and forage.
