Jenet, A.Fernández Rivera, S.Tegegne, AzageSenn, M.Werling, D.Wettstein, H.R.Kreuzer, M.[Relationship of plane of nutrition, milk yield and plasma hormones and metabolites in dairy cows kept under tropical conditions]Relationship of plane of nutrition, milk yield and plasma hormones and metabolites in dairy cows kept under tropical conditions

Agriculture in the dry savannas is intensifying in response to increasing populations of humans and livestock. As a result, increased productivity demands are placed upon integrated crop-livestock systems and more emphasis is on the roles of legumes such as cowpea. Cowpea has the potential to fun...

Jenet, A.Fernández Rivera, S.McCrabb, G.J.Tegegne, AzageKreuzer, M.Yimegnuhal, A.Osuji, P.O.[Conversion of digestible organic matter into weight gain by Boran and Boran x Holstein heifers in different physiological states]Conversion of digestible organic matter into weight gain by Boran and Boran x Holstein heifers in different physiological states

Knowledge of composition of fat, protein and water in the body is indicative for the determination of effects of changes in nutrition in terms of body reserves. Deuterium oxide dilution technique has been proposed as easy, reliable and non-destructive method of determining body composition using ...

A greenhouse trial was carried out at the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), at Sadore (13°15' N, 2°18'E), Niger. Experiments were conducted in conjunction with a feeding trial. The feeding trial yielded eight types of compost made from faeces and leftove...

AndréHiernaux, Pierre H.Y.Fernández Rivera, S.Pandey, V.S.[Effect of type and level of roughage offered to sheep and urine addition on compost quality and millet growth and production in the Sahel]Effect of type and level of roughage offered to sheep and urine addition on compost quality and millet growth and production in the Sahel

Sesbania sesban is one of the exotic multipurpose fodder trees introduced in the Ethiopian highlands for livestock feed and soil conservation. Several on-station studies showed that supplementation with Sesbania improved intake and digestibility of basal diet and growth rate of animals. However, ...

Study was conducted to determine turnover of water, nitrogen and energy in lactating Holstein x Boran cows. Nine cows (Bos indicus × B. taurus) between their 42nd and 420th the days of lactation were selected for this study. The crossbred cows had ad libitum access to water and a dried maize stov...

Livestock manure is an important source of nutrients for crop production in semi-arid West Africa. An assessment of the potential of manure to sustain crop production calls for an estimation of the amounts of manure that could be produced and captured and the feed resources required to maintain l...

An experiment was conducted during the dry season in 1998 to determine the influence of supplementation with groundnut cake (GC) (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 g kg-1 LW) and phosphorus (P) (0 and 3 g day-1 animal) on diet and millet stover intake and digestibility, sheep growth rate and nutrient excretion. ...
