| Description |
Ethiopia's Ministry of Agriculture has launched an emergency cattle feeding project using a molasses-urea mixture, reports the International Livestock Centre for Africa {ILCA) in a recent newsletter. This action follows the pattern of an earlier pilot project jointly implemented by ILCA, the Ministry and the National Sugar Corporation. It aims to save about 88,000 cattle threatened with starvation in three of the country's worst hit provinces (Wollo, Shoa, and Hararge). The molasses-urea mixture is being distributed at wells, the focal point to which all pastoralists bring their herds every three days for watering. Each family receives 12 kilos of the mixture, just enough to ensure the survival of four breeding cows for three days. Molasses has been used as a feed since the 1950s in developed countries and in some parts of Africa such as Zimbabwe and other parts of southern Africa For further information contact: I LCA Documentation services PO Box 5689 Addis Ababa Ethiopia Ethiopia's Ministry of Agriculture has launched an emergency cattle feeding project using a molasses-urea mixture, reports the International Livestock Centre for Africa {ILCA) in a recent newsletter.
