Is Roadside Grass Suitable for Use As Livestock Forage in Botswana?
Vol. 5(10), pp. 265-268, November, 2013 DOI: 10.5897/JECE2013.0297 Journal of Environmental Chemistry and ISSN 2141-226X ©2013 Academic Journals Ecotoxicology http://www.academicjournals.org/JECE Full Length Research Paper Is roadside grass suitable for use as livestock forage in Botswana? Samuel Mosweu1* and Moagi Letshwenyo2 1Department of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Fort Hare, Alice, South Africa. 2Department of Biological Science, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana. Accepted 6 November, 2013 The aim of this research was to assess the suitability of roadside grass for use as livestock feed to combat lack of forage resources in Botswana. Fifty grass samples were collected along the roadside in the A1 Highway corridor running between the Ramatlabama and Ramokgwebana border gates (629 Km), and analysed for Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd. The maximum content levels detected in grass samples for Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were 0.432, 0.187, 0.180, 0.154 and 0.03 mg/kg respectively. Assessment of the results against international maximum allowable limits of undesirable substances in animal feed showed that the content levels of heavy metal contaminants in grass resources found along the roadsides in the A1 Highway corridor in Botswana were far below maximum allowable limits. Therefore, this study supported the use of roadside grass for production of forage to combat scarcity of livestock feed in the country. However, the study recommended the establishment of an environmental management and monitoring approach to facilitate continued monitoring of the quality of forage produced from roadside grass and ensure protection of human and animal health. -

Due to budgetary constraints and relative internal political stability, Botswana had relied on a small paramilitary force called the Police Mobile Unit (PMU) since the early 1960s for all defence – related issues. By the late 1970s, the sharp escalation of the struggle for Zimbabwe resulted in cross – border incursions by Rhodesian security forces who were pursuing armed freedom fighters. -

SADC SUCCESS STORIES Volume 2 2017 The SADC Vision ISBN 978-99968-448-6-7 The vision of SADC is one of a Common Future, a future within a regional community that will ensure economic wellbeing, improvement of the standards of living and quality of life, freedom and social justice, and peace and security for the people of southern Africa. Vision |i Message from the Executive Secretary of the SADC Secretariat Regional integration is not only critical and important but is a necessary tool and strategy for development. Regional integration, in simple words, is about cooperation and economies of scale. SADC Member States have agreed to co-operate by pooling their resources together and implement transboundary projects with greater impact, and more benefit for their citizens. Some of these projects are featured in this second edition of the SADC Success Stories. The SADC Success Stories Edition is one of our communication tools to reach out to SADC citizens and enhance awareness about the positive impacts of our protocols, agreements, policies and strategies. In 2016/17, a team of experts travelled the SADC region to collect stories that highlight the recorded achievements and successes in implementing SADC regional development and integration agenda. The stories cover achievements in the infrastructure, trade and industrialisation, climate change, finance, peace and security, water management, agriculture and transfrontier conservation sectors. The team’s mission included trips overland, by sea and air in order to paint an accurate picture of how SADC regional integration programmes are changing the lives of SADC citizens for the better. Just to highlight a few, at the Zambezi River, they saw the construction of the Kazungula Bridge that will soon form a major transport link in the heart of the SADC region. -
