The effect of feeding Leucaena leucocephala, Leucaena pallida, Sesbania sesban and Chamaecytisus palmensis supplements on intake, digestibility and liveweight changes was evaluated using 102 male Ethiopian highland sheep in a 90-day trial. Teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was fed ad libitum (control d...

Over a grazing period of about 14 weeks, comparisons were made between pasture improved with Stylosanthes hamata and that based on natural grassland. The grazing densities ranged from 2.11 to 4.23 TLU/ha (Tropical Livestock Unit = 250 kg liveweight). Both pastures were grazed in the previous wet ...

The effects of two cropping systems (1 and 2) on grain and fodder yields and nutritive quality of the fodder were studied in a randomized complete block desgin experiment over a period of two cropping years. Crops and crop combinations in system 1 were oat-vetch, wheat-trifolium, teff straw, and ...

This study examined the influence of dietary variation on the usefulness of urinary spot purine derivatives (PD) collected at three periods (8:00-9:30, 14:00-15:30 and 20:00-21:30 hours) as predictors of intake by cattle. Diets comprised teff (Eragrostis tef) straw, fresh and dried Napier grass a...

Milk yield, milk composition and body weight change of crossbred dairy cows (Holstein Friesian X Zebu) were studied in the urban and peri-urban dairy production systems in the Addis Ababa milk shed between December 1997 and November 1998. Ninety-seven cows, with parities above two and at the begi...

This study was conducted to determine the long term effect of supplementation of L. pallida and S. sesban on growth and reproductive performance of male Ethiopian highland sheep and goats fed teff straw (Eragrostis tef) basal diet. The results show that there was no significant effect of the diff...

Livestock under holdings of low-resource producers in the tropics are faced with a variety of feeds that are qualitatively and quantitatively deficient in available nutrients. Emerging practices of hay-making and inter-cropping of cereal with legumes have improved feed quality, but the lack of ap...
