Experiment 1, with rams (17.0 kg initial weight (M), and experiment 2, with steers (203 kg M), involved 2x2 arrangements of treatments to compare the effect of doubling the amount of stover offered (25 or 50 g/kg M daily) and chopping (unchopped or chopped), upon intake, selection and live-weight...

Investigates the effect of cultivar and site of growing sorghum upon yield and composition of stover. Also studies the efects of pre-harvest leaf stripping and post-harvest storage.

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...
