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...

The effects of forage supplement and level of maize grain (Zea mays L.) offered on intake, digestibility, N balance, and rate of gain were determined for rams fed teff straw (Eragrostis abyssinica). Supplements (leaves from five trees, Faidherbia albida, Carissa edulis, Dichrostachys cinerea, Leu...

Summarises ILCA's findings over several years of research on the nutritive value of browse plants. Discusses nitrogen metabolism in ruminants and tannin chemistry. Examines the effect of browse on animals, i.e., feed intake, growth, digestion of fibre fractions and utilisation of nitrogen. Discus...
