Influence of nitrogen supplementation on voluntary intake and liveweight performance of wether sheep on wheat straw diets
Growth and digestibility experiments were conducted with Ethiopian highland sheep offered a maize stover basal diet and supplemented with one of the three legume hays (Desmodium intortum, Macrotyloma axillare and Stylosanthes guianensis), legume hay plus cottonseed cake, and cottonseed cake alone...
