Degradability characteristics of oats hay (harvested at milk stage), oats straw, wheat middlings and forage legumes (lablab (Lablab purpureus)) hay, leaves of sesbania (Sesbania sesban) and tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis)) were evaluated in three sheep given native hay supplemented with cott...

A static model for predicting either the growth rates or digestible organic matter (DOMI) required to meet predetermined levels of growth is developed. Parameters in the model were derived using data collected in ILRI-DZ laboratory from 6 growth studies (involving a total of 242 Ethiopian Menz sh...

The paper evaluates the effects of forage type and level of concentrate supplementation on forage intake, diet apparent digestibility, purine excretion and milk production. Twelve crossbred cows (Bos taurus X Bos indicus), in early lactation were allocated to the following six dietary treatments:...

Sixteen rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz type sheep were used in a completely randomized block design in experiment 1. Unchopped teff straw was fed alone or supplemented with either 100, 150 or 200 g/d of sun-dried vernonia leaves. The chemical composition of fresh, boiled, water-soaked and sun-dr...

Twenty five rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz sheep were used in a completely randomized block design to determine roughage utilization when different types of supplements (sesbania, leucaena, cotton seed cake (CSC) and forms (fresh or dry leucaena) were fed. The chemical composition, intake, diges...

Several tannin-tolerant bacteria were isolated from enrichment cultures of rumen microflora of bush duiker, giraffe, Grant's gazelle, sheep, and goat, and established in medium containing crude tannin extracts or tannic acid. The isolates were characterized by classical and molecular methods. The...

The effect of Acacia angustissima on rumen fermentation was evaluated. Acacia angustissima was fed to two groups of cannulated Ethiopian highland sheeOne group (three animals) was directly supplemented with 300 g per head day-1 of sun-dried A. angustissima. These animals died after 9 and 21 days ...

Two strains of obligately anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria designated as PS7 and PS8 (PS for porcupine species) were isolated from hindgut fluid of a crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata). The rates of cellulose degradation, total volatile fatty acids, and gas production from cellulose by the isola...
