The effects of 1.35, 1.8, or 2.25 kg dry matter (DM) of cottonseed cake, with (1.85 kg DM) or without molasses, on straw intake, diet digestibility, live-weight change, excretion of purine derivative (PD), and milk production of Boran (Bos indicus) cows were studied. There were no significant (P ...

The experiment was carried out using a replicated (3x3) Latin square design with six sheep, to assess, the effect of supplementing maize stover fed ad libitum at three levels (100, 150 or 200 g) of Leucaena diversifolia. The sheep had an initial live weight of 26.4 kg (+ or -) 1.78 kg. In each pe...

This study was conducted in the central highlands of Ethiopia during 1990-92 to examine the effects of diet and partial suckling on lactation and reproductive performance of Boran (Bos indicus) cows. Primiparous Boran cows were allocated to dietary supplementation or no supplementation with eithe...

Fourty-four Borana X Friesian F1 crossbred calves born to Borana (Bos indicus) cows were randomly assigned to either suck their dams twice daily or bucket-feeding with 134 l. milk over a 57-day pre-weaning period. Their dams were also allocated either to a supplement group with grass hay ad libit...
