This forthcoming electronic seminar might interest many of you in this list:***** Date: 8th -22nd March 1996 Title: Kenaf for livestock feed production and tropical forest protection by: Dr. Carol Cross, EcoAgroForestry Trade and Development Center, AR, USA
SHORT SUMMARY
Agroindustrial development research projects on the use of the multi-purpose plant - kenaf - include livestock feed, pelletizing mills, substitution for wood in paper pulp and building materials, as well as fiber for cloth, litter, oil absorbent, fertilizer and many more. Kenaf is a highly potential crop for livestock feed because it can be grown in 60-70 days and is particularly useful where land is under-utilized. Ranchers/farmers in tropical countries need livestock feed, and by growing and processing kenaf they can create a successful livestock feed industry. Instead of cutting old growth forests for low grade pastures, kenaf can be grown for feed. Problems and promising processes of working with kenaf as livestock feed are also discussed.
***** This is a public seminar arranged by the "Integrated Biosystems" (IBS) project, under the framework of activities by the Zero Emissions Research Initiatives, UN University, Tokyo. IBS coordinates projects to achieve complete utilization of agro-industrial wastes into useful products and facilitates global networking and the exchange of experiences amongst its network members.
