Thirty Highland zebu oxen with a mean weight of 276 (SE ± 14.3) kg and about 6 years of age were blocked by weight into 5 groups of 6 oxen each and within groups allocated to 6 treatments. They worked for 51 days followed by 84 days recovery. Teff straw (Eragrostis tef) and lablab (Lablab purpure...

This manual has been produced to standardise some analytical procedures at ILCA and among those NARS scientists who may be interested in the aspects of feed evaluation which the manual attempts to address. The first part of the manual is on determination of voluntary intake, digestion and retenti...

Forty-four crossbred steers were used in a 252-day trial to assess the feeding value of forages from two cereal-legume cropping systems Cropping system 1 comprised oat-vetch (Avena sativa-Vicia dasycarpa), wheat-trifolium (Triticum aestivum-Trifolium steudneri), teff (Eragrostis tef) and cowpea )...

In most tropical countries poor nutrition limits ruminant productivity. The main feed resources include native pasture and crop residues, which are low in nitrogen (6.2-10.6 g/kg DM) and high in fibre (676-772 g/kg DM). Nutritional deficiencies of these feeds can be alleviated by supplementation ...

This study characterized the degradability of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and Dolichos lablab (Lablab purpureus) hays (trial 1) and the effect of these legumes on rumen ammonia concentration (RAC), particulate passage rate (K1) and intake (trial 2) and the degradability of teff (Eragrostis tef) st...

Thirty-six male Ethiopian Menz sheep, given maize stover supplemented with either cottonseed cake, noug cake or sunflower cake with or without maize grain, were used in an 88-day study comprising growth and balance trials. There was no significant interactions. Sheep consumed significantly more s...

Foliage of four multipurpose trees (Calliandra calothyrsus, Chamaecytisus palmensis, Leucaena diversifolia and Vernonia amygdalina) and a woody leguminous perennial (Lablab purpureus) were evaluated for their potential as protein supplements for sheep fed maize stover ad libitum. The chemical c...
