Sesbania, particularly S. sesban species, grow naturally in many parts of Africa where they form natural browse. Productivity of Sesbania as animal feed is widely limited by soil acidity and low In this study, eighteen ILCA accessions of S. sesban and two of S. goetzei, all but two from Africa, w...

Screening forage and browse legumes germplasm to nutrient stresses: III. Tolerance of Sesbania to aluminium and low phosphorus in soils and nutrient solution
Acacia angustissima has potential as a fodder tree, but was toxic to sheep when fed without adaptation at levels higher than 50 g per day in previous studies. In the present study it was determined that rats are sensitive to anti-nutritional factor(s) of A. angustissima and can therefore be used ...

We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of concentration and astringency of extractable and bound condensed tannins (CT) in tropical legumes on intake, digestibility, and nitrogen (N) utilization by sheep. The test legumes (Desmodium ovalifolium and Flemingia macrophylla) had similar ...

En épocas de lluvia (mayo de 2006) y de sequía (agosto de 2006), en tres sitios de la zona de ladera de los municipios de Bolívar, Sevilla y El Dovio, se evaluó mediante metodologías participativas el proceso de adaptación de tecnologías forrajeras. Se aplicaron evaluaciones abiertas, absolutas y...

En el CIAT, Centro Experimental, Estación de Santander de Quilichao, (Cauca, Colombia) durante 1980 y 1981 se observó la presencia de marchitez en plantas de Zornia spp., asociada a Corynebacterium flaccumfaciens. En razón de ese registro y del riesgo que implicaba su presencia en uno de los siti...

A short-term improved fallow system based on forage legumes is suggested for crop-livestock farming systems in subhumid West Africa targeted to enhance soil fertility and dry season feed for cattle. At two sites, 13 legume species were compared with the natural fallow vegetation, the nutritive va...

Five accessions, comprising Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema acutifolium, Centrosema pascuorum and Stylosanthes guianensis together with Stylosanthes hamata cVerano were evaluated over 2 years for use in fodder banks in subhumid Nigeria. The most promising accession was A. histrix 112463 with yie...

Trials were conducted at 7 sites in northern Nigeria to identify forage legumes as alternatives to Stylosanthes hamata cVerano. Initial screening of 46 accessions at each site led to the identification of the best 8 for each site. These were then tested for 4 years, the first 2 with careful manag...
