African forage plant genetic resources, evaluation of forage germplasm and extensive livestock production systems. Proceedings of the third PANESA workshop
A study carried out to determine the chemical composition of Crotalaria ochroleuca ("marejea") at three stages of growth pre-anthesis, anthesis and post-anthesis. Feeding trials were conducted to study the effect of "marejea" supplementation of low quality Chloris gayana hay on the growth rate an...

Nutritive value of Crotalaria ochroleuca: II. The effect of supplementation on feed utilization and performance of growing sheep
Decreasing farm size and the opportunity to market livestock products has promoted the development of intensive production systems in East and souther Africa. This paper reviews the characteristics of the common feed resources used in small-scale intensive farming systems in eastern and southern ...
Reports on the initial stages of a work carried out to evaluate the nutritive value of Crotalaria ochroleuca (marejea). Determines dry matter yield, chemical composition and invitro dry matter digestibility. Examines DM & OM contents and yields, chemical compostion with whole plant, leaf and stem...
