Natural mineral licks to enhance livestock growth

摘要

Rearing livestock in northern Ghana is important to farmers. They tie in well in the management of the land, and are vital for raising cash, buying farm inputs and purchasing food. So there is much research and extension work with farmers to improve feeding management such as the use of mineral licks. But these are expensive so farmers, researchers and extension workers are seeking local alternatives. Naaminong Karbo reports on his research into the use of one local resource, known as siella.
