abstract: Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is a
staple food popularly cultivated by
small farmers in Niger. The stover are
also used as feeds for livestock (small
ruminant) as basal diet, especially
during the cold dry season.
 ICRISAT has developed many dualpurpose
millet varieties that aim to
increase feeds for livestock while
providing grain as food to farmers. But
the nutritional quality of Stover of
these varieties for livestock are not
known.
 This research aims to assess the
quality of residues of the dual-purpose
varieties and their effect on feed
intake and live weight changes of
young sheep.
