Abstract

Tropical regions are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, which threatens forage availability and livestock productivity due to drought, land degradation, and water scarcity. Opuntia cochenillifera   (L.) Mill, a drought-tolerant forage cactus, emerges as a promising solution for resilient and sustainable livestock feeding systems. This review explores its botanical and agronomic characteristics, nutritional profile, and environmental adaptability. Opuntia cochenillifera   demonstrates high water-use efficiency, biomass productivity, and nutritional value, making it suitable for arid and semi-arid regions. Its integration into silvopastoral and agroforestry systems enhances environmental sustainability through improved soil health, reduced erosion, and potential carbon sequestration. The cactus also offers economic benefits by lowering feed costs and supporting year-round livestock productivity. However, limitations such as low protein content, potential invasiveness, and high-input management needs remain challenges to be addressed. Future research should focus on genetic improvement, biotechnology applications, and supportive agricultural policies to promote widespread adoption. Overall, Opuntia cochenillifera   holds considerable promise for advancing climate-smart and sustainable livestock systems in tropical regions.

Abstract

Livestock production systems in tropical regions face increasing pressure to improve feed quality while maintaining environmental sustainability and reducing dependence on external inputs. Forage legumes offer a viable strategy to address these challenges by enhancing nutritional value and delivering key ecosystem services. This study evaluated the agronomic performance, forage yield, and nutritional characteristics of Centrosema pubescens as a nutrient-rich forage legume within sustainable livestock systems. A field experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replicates under tropical conditions representative of smallholder production environments. Forage biomass was harvested at the peak vegetative stage and analyzed for dry matter yield, crude protein, fiber fractions, and mineral content using standard laboratory procedures. The results showed that Centrosema produced substantial biomass, exceeding 5 t ha?¹ of dry matter, indicating strong adaptation and productive capacity under low-input management. Nutritional analysis revealed high crude protein concentrations (18–22%) and moderate fiber levels, supporting its suitability as a protein supplement for ruminant diets dominated by low-quality grasses. Integration of Centrosema into grass-based systems improved overall forage quality and contributed to enhanced soil nitrogen availability through biological nitrogen fixation, thereby reinforcing nutrient cycling and soil health. Conceptual analysis further highlighted the role of grass–legume mixtures in promoting rhizosphere stability and sustaining forage productivity. Overall, the findings confirm that Centrosema pubescens is a promising forage legume for improving feed quality, supporting soil fertility, and advancing the sustainability of tropical livestock production systems. Further studies incorporating animal performance trials are recommended to fully quantify its impact on ruminant productivity.
