Abstract:

Uganda is facing challenges of prolonged droughts due to climatic variability. Climatic impacts are more severe in arid and semi-arid grazing systems where Niche' temperatures and lower rainfall reduce yields on rangelands and reduce pasture quality. There is need to promote hay based diets for dry season feeding to enhance drought resilience with regard to livestock production.
