Inadequate supply of fodder is a serious constraint to the potentially-promising smallholder-dairy production system in coastal Kenya. Alley farming could be an approach to addressing this problem. A study of forage production based on Napier grass and leucaena in an alley cropping system was con...

Sixteen rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz type sheep were used in a completely randomized block design in experiment 1. Unchopped teff straw was fed alone or supplemented with either 100, 150 or 200 g/d of sun-dried vernonia leaves. The chemical composition of fresh, boiled, water-soaked and sun-dr...

Harvests were made at the end of the main (April-August) and minor (September-November) wet, and dry (December-March) seasons for two years. Dry season edible forage samples were analyzed for concentrations of crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (NDF), acid det...

Some species of the genus Erythrina have considerable potential as forage, but information on their nutritional value is scanty. The objective of the study was to define groups of Erythrina provenances based on rumen degradation parameters for dry matter and nitrogen which would be useful in the ...

Determines the effect of management regimes (cutting frequency and height) on the coppicing ability, fodder production and nutritive value potentials of cultivated Parkia trees compared with Gliricidia. The study has shown that the tree has a potential as fodder for livestock as well as human foo...

Shrubs and trees browsed by Fulani pastoralists' cattle in two areas of central Nigeria were identified by means of interviews with the pastoralists and observations of browsing cattle. Thirty-nine palnt species were identified, many of them indigenous economic trees. The species were ranked by p...

Ruminants generally succeed in selecting an appropriate diet relative to their nutrient requirements, and macronutrients such as energy and protein are considered as playing a primary role in their food preferences. Diet learning through post-ingestive consequences, evidenced by many studies that...

Presents findings of a study carried out to determine differences between 24 sorghum varieties in digestibility of leaf and stem components and yield of stover. Emphasis is given to encourrage breeds involved in slelecting sorghum varieties for use on small farms where sorghum stover is an import...
