Comparisons were made between 24 Ethiopian rams and 24 Galla goats for voluntary intake, feed selectivity and growth performance when offered three levels of sorghum stover. The levels observed were 25,50 and 75 g/kg live weight per day. Measurements of intake, growth and feed selectivity were ta...

Effects of the method of processing of coffee cherries on pulp composition and digestibility in vivo were studied. The effects of wet and dry processing on chemical composition were analysed in Experiment 1. The effects of dry processed pulp (Dcop) and wet processed pulp (Wcop) (0 g/d, 60 g/d, 12...

Twenty four male goats and 24 rams were individually fed 150g cottonseed-cake/day and, offered 25, 50 or 75 g sorghum stover per kg M daily over 75 days following a preliminary period of 21 days. Stover was offered in chopped form. Live-weight gain of sheep was higher than of goats; there was no ...

The International Livestock Centre for Africa has a genetic base of 300 accessions from 20 species of Sesbania. The largest number of these are represented by the perennials S. sesban (207), S. goetzii (18), and S. keniensis (8) and the short-lived perennial S. macrantha (97). Almost all of this ...
