Reports results of an experiment conducted to determine the effect of diet restriction on work performance and body weight in crossbred and local oxen worked as singles in farmers' fields around Debre Zeit, Ethiopia, during the normal cultivation season.


Astatke, A.Reed, J.D.Butterworth, M.H.[Effect of diet restriction on work performance and weight loss of local Zebu and Friesian X Boran crossbred oxen]Effect of diet restriction on work performance and weight loss of local Zebu and Friesian X Boran crossbred oxen

Reviews analytical methods for the determination of the nutritive value of crop residues. Gives example on the accuracy of different methods in determining digestibility and of the factors affecting it. Highlights different management practices for feeding cereal crop residues to draught animals.


Reed, J.D.Goe, M.R.[Evaluation de valeur nutritive des issues de cereales: consequences sur l'etablissement de normes alimentaires pour les animaux de trait]Evaluation de valeur nutritive des issues de cereales: consequences sur l'etablissement de normes alimentaires pour les animaux de trait

Presents findings of a study carried out to determine differences between 24 sorghum varieties in digestibility of leaf and stem components and yield of stover. Emphasis is given to encourrage breeds involved in slelecting sorghum varieties for use on small farms where sorghum stover is an import...

The effect two East African browses, A. brevispica and S. sesban, on feed digestibility and palatability were described. The browses were fed at three levels of each in combination with vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) and teff straw (Eragrostis abyssinica) in a Latin Square design to sheep and goats. Tef...

Investigates the nutritive value of three important native forages in southern Ethiopia (two browses and one cultivated legume) for possible inclusion in improved feeding systems for calves managed by seminomadic pastoralists. Fruits (pods & seeds) of Acacia tortilis (Forsk.) Hayne subsspirocarpa...
