Harvests were made at the end of the main (April-August) and minor (September-November) wet, and dry (December-March) seasons for two years. Dry season edible forage samples were analyzed for concentrations of crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (NDF), acid det...

Feed value of multipurpose fodder trees and shrubs in West Africa: Edible forage production and nutritive value of Millettia thonningii and Albizia lebbeck
Two experiments were conducted using dried leaves of Alchornea cordifolia, Ficus capensis, Manniophytum fulvum and Albizza niopoides. In Experiment 1, dry matter (DM) degradation characteristics were investigated using the in sacco nylon bag technique in West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep, WAD goats ...

We investigated variation in forage production, in sacco dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) degradations, and in vitro gas production characteristics of four Albizia (A. lebbeck N 864), A. procera N 865, A. saman N 825) and Paraserianthes falcataria (N 783) provenances obtained from The Nitrogen Fi...

Rumen degradation characteristics of DM in edible forage of 25 multipurpose tree and shrub fodders (MPTS) harvested at the end of the main-wet (April-August 1992), minor-wet (September-November 1992) and dry (December 1992-March 1993) seasons were determined in rumen-fistulated Bunaji cattle (BC)...
