Nsahlai, I.V.Umunna, N.N.Osuji, P.O.[Complementarity of bird-resistant and non-bird-resistant varieties of sorghum stover with cottonseed cake and noug (Guizotia abyssinica) cake when fed to sheep]Complementarity of bird-resistant and non-bird-resistant varieties of sorghum stover with cottonseed cake and noug (Guizotia abyssinica) cake when fed to sheep

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

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...


Nsahlai, I.V.Yimegnuhal, A.Talle, S.B.Osuji, P.O.[Effect of work, nutritional stress and level of re-alimentation on the composition of compensatory gains in draught oxen]Effect of work, nutritional stress and level of re-alimentation on the composition of compensatory gains in draught oxen

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...


Osuji, P.O.Nsahlai, I.V.Khalili, H.[Feed evaluation]Feed evaluation

Inadequate nutrition is the main cause of low productivity of livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. The primary feed resources include fodder trees, natural pastures and crop residues. This paper presents results from studies conducted at ILRI in evaluations of these resources. The effect of supplemen...


Osuji, P.O.Fernández Rivera, S.Odenyo, A.A.[Improving fibre utilisation and protein supply in animals fed poor quality roughages: ILRI nutrition research and plans]Improving fibre utilisation and protein supply in animals fed poor quality roughages: ILRI nutrition research and plans

Developing countries continue to face the challenge of increasing poverty and depleting asset base of their predominantly rural populations. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) alone, over 70% of the population now live below the poverty line, and in South Asia the number of poor people exceeds 500 milli...


Kebreab, E.Smith, T.Tanner, J.C.Osuji, P.O.[Review of undernutrition in smallholder ruminant production systems in the tropics]Review of undernutrition in smallholder ruminant production systems in the tropics

Thirty-six crossbred cows were used in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement in a randomized block design to evaluate forages from two cropping systems (1 and 2) and feeding levels (ad libitum, (Level1)) or 80 percent of ad libitum (Level 2) on milk yield, live weight, and reproductive performance. Crops...
