    The identification of fodder species present in any locality is crucial for ensuring better management of pastures. Studies on forage plant inventories and livestock preferences are very limited in Western Highlands of Cameroon (WHC). Hence, the aim of this study was to identify local forage plants and assess livestock preferences in WHC. A survey was carried out involving 50 breeders with at least two years of experience in the livestock sector to acquire information on the type of forage resources consumed by livestock and their preferences. The results showed that 32 forage species were present in WHC, with 21 herbaceous and 11 browse forages. The most widely consumed parts of these plants are the leaves. The species most appreciated by livestock are in low proportion compared to the average ones, leading to a gradual deterioration in the quality of pastures. Measures must.. View more»
