Kaitho, R.J.Umunna, N.N.Nsahlai, I.V.Tamminga, S.Bruchem, J. van[Utilization by sheep of browse supplements with varying tannin levels: 2. Nitrogen metabolism]Utilization by sheep of browse supplements with varying tannin levels: 2. Nitrogen metabolism

The potential forage value and appropriate length of study on intake and relative palatability ranking of 40 multipurpose tree species (MPTs) were determined using 24 sheep blocked on live weight and age. As the MPTs had different dry matter contents, intakes were also expressed as a ratio of qua...


Kaitho, R.J.Umunna, N.N.Nsahlai, I.V.Taminga, S.Bruchem, J. vanHanson, JeanWouw, M. van de[Palatability of multipurpose tree species: Effect of species and length of study on intake and relative palatability by sheep]Palatability of multipurpose tree species: Effect of species and length of study on intake and relative palatability by sheep

Palatability indices of dry and wilted 18 multipurpose tree species (MPTs) were determined using 12 wethers and 12 bucks (mean (+ or -) SD liveweight 17.5 (+ or -) 1.24 kg and 20.5 (+ or -) 1.46 kg, respectively), blocked into two groups on liveweight and age, housed in a roofed and half-walled s...

This study determined nitrogen degradability and digestibility of rumen undegradable nitrogen using mobile nylon bag (MNB) and pepsin/pancreatin in vitro technique (IV) of 40 browse species. Thirty Ethiopian highland sheep fitted with rumen cannulae were used in nitrogen (N) degradability studies...

The effect of tannins in browse supplements on intake, digestibility and live weight changes was evaluated using sixty-six male Ethiopian Menz sheep in a 90-day trial. Teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was fed ad libitum (control diet), or supplemented with 190 g dried leaves of six Sesbania sesban acc...


Kaitho, R.J.Umunna, N.N.Nsahlai, I.V.Tamminga, S.Bruchem, J. van[Utilization of browse supplements with varying tannin levels by Ethiopian Menz shee1. Intake, digestibility and live weight changes]Utilization of browse supplements with varying tannin levels by Ethiopian Menz shee1. Intake, digestibility and live weight changes

The aim of this work was to assess whether degradability, gas production or chemical constituents could predict the preference of browses. Forty tropical browse species leaves with a crude protein (CP) content ranging from 79 to 307 g kg-1 DM were used for this study. The neutral detergent fibre ...

The long term effect of supplementation of Leucaena pallida and Sesbania sesban on growth and reproduction performance was determined on 30 male Ethiopian highland sheep and 25 East African goats. Unchopped teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was given ad libitum and supplemented withe ither wheat bran (...

Two experiments were conducted to assess the nutrient intake, weight gain (ADG) and rumen degradation of napier grass (NG), lucerne (L) and sweet potato vines (SPV) fed to growing dairy heifers. In the first experiment, 33 Friesian heifers were randomly allocated to the three treatments namely; n...

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...
