An experiment was conducted with Friesian X Zebu (Boran) crossbred growing steers to compare an agro-industrial by-product, wheat middling cowpea hay, and wilted forages of leucaena and tagasaste as cattle feed. These feeds were fed daily to supplement the basal diet of native hay. A mineral supp...

An experiment was conducted with four rumen-cannulated crossbred cows in a balanced 4x4 Latin square to study the effect of wilted tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) forage on rumen parameters and milk yield. The cows were fed a basal diet consisting of ad libitum native hay, mineral lick and wa...

This study investigated the effect of feeding oats hay alone or with 250 g of dolichos lablab (Lablab purpureus, 50 percent flowering at harvest) hay, wheat middlings, leaves of sesbania (Sesbania sesban) or tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) on the growth of 66 Ethiopian Menz sheep and the nutr...
