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...

Feeding value of Erythrina abyssinica leaves were evaluated with native sheep and goats at Soddo, southern Ethiopia in a 21-day digestibility and 80- day growth trial. In the digestibility trial, wilted leaves of E. abyssinica were fed add libitum, while in the growth trial, animals were offered ...

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 compared the effect of supplementing maize stover (MS) with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) haulms or commercial concentrate (CC) on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, live weight gain and carcass yield of male Ethiopian Highland sheep. Two cowpea genotypes, 12688 (forage) and IT96D-774 (...
