Carboxymethylcellulase (EC 3.2.1.4; CMCase) and xylanase(EC 3.2.1.8) activities were estimated in rumen fluid and from microbes closely associated with rumen particulate material or with feed particles incubated in nylon bags in the rumen of cattle. Cattle with a permanent rumen cannula and a sim...

The trace element status of crossbred Friesian X Zebu (Boran) and local Zebu cattle in the Selale highlands of Ethiopia was evaluated during the rainy and dry seasons of 1989 and 1990 interms of the trace element content of soils, feeds, blood plasma and faeces on 25 randomly selected farms. Live...

Chamaecrista rotundifolia cv. Wynn has been identified as a promising forage legume for use in subhumid Nigeria. To establish if other accessions of this species have potential in the region, 21 accessions were evaluated for flowering, seed production, dry matter production, disease and pest inci...

From biological data collected between January 1986 and December 1989, and economic data collected during 1988, 10-year projections of herd structure, production, and economic and financial returns were calculated for 13 village cattle herds at two village sites in the Gambia. The analyses indica...

One of the factors that constrains animal draft power in livestock-rich countries like Ethiopia is the inadequate supply of livestock feed both in quantitative and qualitative terms. This problem in Ethiopia is aggravated by poor soil conditions across the highland areas. Inter-cropping of forage...
