Practical Approaches for Improving Utilization of Feed Resources under an Extensive Production System in Sinai
Range vegetation is considered the basic resource for animal feeding in the Egyptian desert. It has been deteriorated as a result of poor management and environmental impacts. The fresh biomass produced from the native ranges in Sinai, particularly in dry seasons, may not sustain the nutritional requirements of the large population of livestock in this region. It was of interest to define proper approaches for improving feed resources availability under the conditions of extensive production system in Sinai. The practical approaches which had already been applied are presented in this article. They included processing of minor and non-palatable shrubs to improve their utilization as good quality fodders; cultivation of saltand drought-tolerant shrubs and utilization of local organic wastes as feed ingredients.
