UK-Backed Alfalfa Project Targets Nigeria’s Livestock Feed Crisis

Nigeria’s livestock industry has long struggled with a structural feed challenge, as many farmers rely on low-nutrient crop residues that limit meat and dairy productivity. A new initiative supported by the United Kingdom is testing whether alfalfa, a high-nutrient forage crop widely used in advanced livestock systems, could help change that reality. Early trials in northern Nigeria are examining how the crop can improve animal nutrition, boost milk yields, and strengthen the broader livestock value chain. If successful, the project could reshape the country’s feed market and support more sustainable growth in the livestock sector. News Central’s Lead Business Correspondent Nasir Agbalaya reports on how alfalfa cultivation is beginning to influence livestock farming in northern Nigeria and what it could mean for the future of food production.
