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...

Twenty intact male Mubende goats were randomly divided into five groups of four goats each. Each group was randomly assigned one of the treatments resulting into a complete randomised design. All the animals were individually fed elephant grass (E), used as basal diet, ad libitum. Treatments were...

The dry matter production of 9 herbaceous legume species was evaluated over 3 years for their suitability as forage species in the subhumid regions of Uganda. Dry matter production of Centrosema pascuorum (6774), Chamaecrista rotundifolia (Wynn), Clitoria ternatea (9291), Macroptilium atropurpure...
