Thirty-six male Ethiopian Menz sheep, given maize stover supplemented with either cottonseed cake, noug cake or sunflower cake with or without maize grain, were used in an 88-day study comprising growth and balance trials. There was no significant interactions. Sheep consumed significantly more s...

This study was aimed at evaluating (1) the dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) degradabilities (by sheep) of Sesbania sesban leaves, Acacia albida (Faidhabia albida), A. siberiana and a. tortilis fruits and (2) the effect of feeding a mixture of oilseed cake and tanniferous browses on the degradabil...

The effect of different condensed tannins concentrations on protein metabolism from browse supplements was investigated in a 90-day trial using sixty-six male Ethiopian Menz sheeTeff straw (Eragrostis tef) was fed ad libitum (control diet), or supplemented with 190 g dried leaves of six Sesbania ...

Associations among chemical properties, in vitro digestibility and ruminal degradability characteristics of herbaceous legumes, browse species and oilseed cakes were studied using correlation analysis based on a total of 50 feedstuff samples. Chemical properties were poorly related to in vitro or...

This study evaluated the synergism between oilseed (50:50 noug (Guizotia abyssinica) and groundnut) cake (OSC) and tanniferous feeds (pods of Acacia albida and Sesbania sesban leaves) in two experiments. S. sesban has a lower content of soluble phenolics than A. albida pods (196 vs. 270 g/kg). Di...

The rumen degradation and gas production characteristics (methane, carbondioxide) of leaves of 20 accessions of multipurpose trees (MPTs) from six genera: Acacia, Cajanus, Chamaecytisus Link, Erythrina, Leaucaena and Sesbania and some poisonous plants were investigated in vitro and in sacco in ru...

Six cattle (3 Boran (Bos indicus) and 3 crossbred (Bos indicus X Bos taurus) were fasted for 20 days to estimate the effect of fasting on the excretion of nitrogen (N) and purine derivatives (PD) in the urine. PD excretion (y) for each genotype was related to time (t in days) by means of an expon...

Six rumen cannulated sheep (26.1 (s.d. 2.24 kg live weight) given maize stover ad libitum were supplemented with either sunflower cake (SFC), decorticated cottonseed (CSC) or noug cakes (NGC) with or without crushed maize grain. The 6x6 Latin-square experiment studied the degradation properties o...
