Smith, A.H.Odenyo, A.A.Osuji, P.O.Wallig, M.A.Mackie, R.I.[Evaluation of palatability and toxicity of Acacia angustssima using a rat bioassay]Evaluation of palatability and toxicity of Acacia angustssima using a rat bioassay

Acacia angustissima is a tropical legume, which has potential as a fodder tree, but contains secondary compounds which have an anti-nutritional effect in ruminants. This study was designed to indicate whether condensed tannins alone are responsible for the anti-nutritional affect or whether non-p...


Smith, A.H.Wallig, M.A.Seigler, D.S.Odenyo, A.A.McSweeney, C.S.Mackie, R.I.[Ameliorating the toxic effects of Acacia angustissima with polyethylene glycol in rats]Ameliorating the toxic effects of Acacia angustissima with polyethylene glycol in rats

Supplementation of basal diets with multipurpose trees (MPTs) increases essential nutrients available to rumen microbes, increases rate of passage of particulate matter by 23-53 percent and of liquid matter by 9-43 percent. Supplementing teff straw with graded levels of cowpea or lablab significa...


Osuji, P.O.Odenyo, A.A.[The role of legume forages as supplements to low quality roughages - ILRI experience]The role of legume forages as supplements to low quality roughages - ILRI experience

Nine different accessions of Sesbania sesban were examined for their toxicity to ciliate protozoa from sheep receiving a mixed grass hay-barley/fishmeal concentrate in Aberdeen, Scotland. Several accessions were much more toxic than those (ILRI 10865, ILRI 15036) identified and tested in a previo...


Teferedegne, B.McIntosh, F.Osuji, P.O.Odenyo, A.A.Wallace, R.J.Newbold, C.J.[Influence of foliage from different accessions of the sub-tropical leguminous tree, Sesbania sesban, on ruminal protozoa in Ethiopian and Scottish sheep]Influence of foliage from different accessions of the sub-tropical leguminous tree, Sesbania sesban, on ruminal protozoa in Ethiopian and Scottish sheep

Acacia angustissima has potential as a fodder tree, but was toxic to sheep when fed without adaptation at levels higher than 50 g per day in previous studies. In the present study it was determined that rats are sensitive to anti-nutritional factor(s) of A. angustissima and can therefore be used ...


Smith, A.H.Odenyo, A.A.Osuji, P.O.Wallig, M.A.Kandil, F.E.Seigler, D.S.Mackie, R.I.[Evaluation of toxicity of Acacia angustissima in a rat bioassay]Evaluation of toxicity of Acacia angustissima in a rat bioassay

Foliage from the tropical leguminous tree, Sesbania sesban, is toxic to rumen protozoa in vitro, due to materials present in a saponins-containing extract of the foliage (Newbold et al 1997). Suppression of protozoal numbers in vivo when S. sesban is added to the diet is either transient or non-e...
