Influence des substances polyphenoliques sur la valeur nutritive des fourrages ligneux: Synthese de recherches menees par le CIPEA
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...

Exmines the nutritive value of fruits from Acacia tortilis, A. albida, A. nilotica and A. sieberiana. Compares the fruits of these four species with the meal produced by industrial extraction of oil from noug (Guizotia abyssinica). Also compares these feeds as sources of protein when offered in c...
