Metabolisable energy requirements for maintenance and growth of castrate Zimbabwean (Matabele) goats offered diets differing in roughage content either ad libitum or restricted
Complete cereal-based diets, containing either 50, 33, 22, or 10 veld hay (9. 7, 10.3, 11.6, and 12.1 MJ ME/kg DM, respectively) were fed to 40 wethers, to achieve a target body mass gain of 10 kg by 230 days. Ten animals were slaughtered at the start of the experiment to determine initial carcas...

Responding to the livestock revolution: The role of globalisation and implications for poverty alleviation
Developing countries continue to face the challenge of increasing poverty and depleting asset base of their predominantly rural populations. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) alone, over 70% of the population now live below the poverty line, and in South Asia the number of poor people exceeds 500 milli...

Diet digestibility and the degradability and rate of passage of the roughage fraction were measured for four maize-based diets containing either 50 per cent (VH50), 33 per cent (VH33), 22 per cent (VH22) or 10 per cent (VH10) roughage as natural rangeland (veld) hay. Treatment diets were offered ...

Four maize-based diets containing either 50 per cent (VH50), 33 per cent (VH33), 22 per cent (VH22) or 10 per cent (VH10) rangeland (veld) hay were offered ad libitum to 40 castrated Matabele goats aged either 18 or 24 months and slaughtered after 10 kg liveweight gain. Ten additional goats of th...
