Weekly voice messages for farmers: Oats and vetches

Listen to the third episode of our weekly voice message series, which brings you the latest livestock feed and forage innovations in Ethiopia. This episode focuses on oats and vetches.

Oats and vetches can be grown together to produce a high-yielding forage for livestock. They are a good source of energy, protein, and other nutrients. A study found that cows fed a diet of 30% oats and vetches with 70% crop residue had a 50% increase in milk production.

This voice messaging program is produced in collaboration with the Sustainable Intensification of Mixed Farming Systems and Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa projects. This program aims to scale up feed and forage innovations across the Ethiopian highlands through interactive mobile voice messages.
