Two experiments with 12 and 18 lactating Jersey cows respectively were carried out in the coastal semi-humid zone of Kenya to assess the performance arising from the feeding of chopped Napier fodder (Pennisetum purpureum) given ad libitum with and without one of three sources of protein; fishmeal...

Twenty intact and five fistulated crossbred steers were used in two experiments to examine the effect of supplementing maize stover with Gliricidia sepium or Leucaena leucocephala forage on intake, rumen fermentation, microbial protein supply and live weight changes. The basal diet plus 1 kg maiz...
Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of incremental levels of Gliricidia sepium (gliricidia) and Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) on forage intake, diet apparent digestibility, microbial nitrogen supply and live-weight changes in cattle. In each experiment, 20 intact and five f...
