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...

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...

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...

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 ...
