Sorghum stover as ruminant feed in Ethiopia: Effect of cultivar, site of growth, pre-harvest leaf stripping and storage on yield and morphology
The adoption of `improved' sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes (i.e. drought tolerant, high grain-yielding and bird-resistant) by farmers in Ethiopia is low (Tilahun et al., 1992). Farmers prefer local, non-bird-resistant genotypes because their drought resistance and grain and stover...

Presents results of a study conducted to determine the intake and selectivity of sheep and cattle offered sorghum stover in varying quantities and form (either chopped or unchopped). Includes data on live-weight gain, stover offered, stover intake, sheath intake, stem intake and stover refusal of...
