Summary
The productivity of local Ngurri goats in Swaziland is limited in the dry season by the decline in quantity and quality of rangeland grazing. There are, however, options to supplement range grazing at these times with crop residues and agro-industrial by-products. Higher quality supplements are preferentially fed to cattle but large amounts of lower quality residues are available in some areas. These could be fed to goats, though there are nutritional problems in ensuring adequate nutrient intakes from lower quality supplements.
