Land degradation, low agricultural productivity and poverty are major problems in Ethiopia. The existing resources cannot support the growing human and livestock population. Currently, there is an increasing interest among researchers and development experts in leguminous multipurpose trees and s...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of substituting calliandra (Callindra calothyrsus) leaf meal (CLM) for soybean meal (SBM) on intake, digestibility, growth and feed efficiency in goats. Two male and 2 female Small East African (SEA) goats were fed elephant grass (Pennisetum p...

Two experiments evaluated variations in feed value among Calliandra calothyrsus provenances. In Experiment 1, edible forage production of four provenances were evaluated at Ibadan, southwestern Nigeria over a 2-year period in three seasons: main-wet (April-August), minor-wet (September-November) ...

A trial with sheep (housed in metabolic cages, and fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas) fed sun-dried forage of two Calliandra calothyrsus provenances (San Ramon —CIAT 22310 and Patulul CIAT— 22316) harvested in sites with contrasting soil fertility was carried out to further define the bio...

Extensive comparisons of the effects of tropical shrub legumes rich in condensed tannins (CT) require well-conserved material. It is, however, unclear if the application of even gentle methods like freeze drying (lyophilization) affects the results in comparison to fresh material. Therefore, an e...

A cross-sectional survey on 41 farms followed by six weeks monitoring of dairy cattle feeding on ten smallholder dairy farms in central Kenya was conducted to investigate the use, availability and quality of dry season feed resources. Fodder production was largely from Napier grass (Pennisetum pu...
