Two experiments were conducted using dried leaves of Alchornea cordifolia, Ficus capensis, Manniophytum fulvum and Albizza niopoides. In Experiment 1, dry matter (DM) degradation characteristics were investigated using the in sacco nylon bag technique in West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep, WAD goats ...

Crude protein content and in sacco dry matter (DM) loss after 72 h of incubation in West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep and goats of fresh, wilted and dried leaves of Gliricidia sepium were compared. Additionally, voluntary DM intakes by WAD sheep and goats of G. sepium leaves presented in the fresh, ...

Dry matter (DM) production, crude protein, phosphorus fibre contents and goat preference for eight indigenous browse species, Alchornea cordifolia, Diallum guineense, Ficus capensis, Baphia nitida, Manniophytum fulvum, Homalium aylmeri, Glyphaea brevis and Rauwolifia vomitoria, and for two exotic...

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 ...

Rumen degradation characteristics of DM in edible forage of 25 multipurpose tree and shrub fodders (MPTS) harvested at the end of the main-wet (April-August 1992), minor-wet (September-November 1992) and dry (December 1992-March 1993) seasons were determined in rumen-fistulated Bunaji cattle (BC)...

Compares voluntary feed intake and apparent dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and crude fibre (CF) digestibility coefficients of napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum schum) whole-plant and leaf and stem fractions by West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep and goats. Napier grass was cut after 6 weeks of r...

There are widely varying perceptions of the acceptability of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. to ruminants in different parts of the tropics. The possibility that there is a genetic basis for this apparent variation was investigated in a series of feeding experiments with small ruminants. The sam...

Considering leguminous trees Leucaena and Gliricidia as good sources of quality food, on-station and on-farm studies were conducted in the humid zone of West Africa to establish animal responses to levels, times and forms of browse supplementation, to develop alternative feeding strategies for ut...
