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

A static model for predicting either the growth rates or digestible organic matter (DOMI) required to meet predetermined levels of growth is developed. Parameters in the model were derived using data collected in ILRI-DZ laboratory from 6 growth studies (involving a total of 242 Ethiopian Menz sh...


Nsahlai, I.V.Osuji, P.O.Umunna, N.N.[Digestible organic matter requirements of Ethiopian Menz sheep: Model and application]Digestible organic matter requirements of Ethiopian Menz sheep: Model and application

Sixteen rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz type sheep were used in a completely randomized block design in experiment 1. Unchopped teff straw was fed alone or supplemented with either 100, 150 or 200 g/d of sun-dried vernonia leaves. The chemical composition of fresh, boiled, water-soaked and sun-dr...


Bonsi, M.L.K.Osuji, P.O.Tuah, A.K.Umunna, N.N.[Vernonia amygdalina as a supplement to teff straw (Eragrostis tef) fed to Ethiopian Menz sheep]Vernonia amygdalina as a supplement to teff straw (Eragrostis tef) fed to Ethiopian Menz sheep

Twenty five rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz sheep were used in a completely randomized block design to determine roughage utilization when different types of supplements (sesbania, leucaena, cotton seed cake (CSC) and forms (fresh or dry leucaena) were fed. The chemical composition, intake, diges...


Bonsi, M.L.K.Osuji, P.O.Tuah, A.K.Umunna, N.N.[Intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance and certain rumen characteristics of Ethiopian Menz sheep fed teff straw supplemented with cotton seed cake, dry sesbania, dry leucaena or fresh leucaena]Intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance and certain rumen characteristics of Ethiopian Menz sheep fed teff straw supplemented with cotton seed cake, dry sesbania, dry leucaena or fresh leucaena

The effect of Acacia angustissima on rumen fermentation was evaluated. Acacia angustissima was fed to two groups of cannulated Ethiopian highland sheeOne group (three animals) was directly supplemented with 300 g per head day-1 of sun-dried A. angustissima. These animals died after 9 and 21 days ...


Odenyo, A.A.Osuji, P.O.Karanfil, O.Adinew, K.[Microbiological evaluation of Acacia angustissima as a protein supplement for sheep]Microbiological evaluation of Acacia angustissima as a protein supplement for sheep

In vitro gas production, dry matter and nitrogen degradabilities of fresh and sun-dried foliages of four fodde trees (FTs) (Sesbania sesban, Leucaena leucocephala, Chamaecytisus palmensis (tagasaste), Vernonia amygdalina) and of teff straw were estimated. In Experiment 1, feed samples were incuba...


Bonsi, M.L.K.Osuji, P.O.Tuah, A.K.[Effect of supplementing teff straw with different levels of leucaena or sesbania leaves on the degradabilities of teff straw, sesbania, leucaena, tagasaste and vernonia and on certain rumen and blood metabolites in Ethiopian Menz sheep]Effect of supplementing teff straw with different levels of leucaena or sesbania leaves on the degradabilities of teff straw, sesbania, leucaena, tagasaste and vernonia and on certain rumen and blood metabolites in Ethiopian Menz sheep

A series of trials were conducted to study the effect of either nitrogen source or supply pattern on the growth, rumen fermentation pattern and utilisation of straw by Ethiopian Menz sheeAll experimental sheep were given teff straw basal diet (CON). Irrespective of the trial, treatment sheep were...


Bonsi, M.L.K.Tuah, A.K.Osuji, P.O.Nsahlai, V.I.Umunna, N.N.[The effect of protein supplement source or supply pattern on the intake, digestibility, rumen kinetics, nitrogen utilisation and growth of Ethiopian Menz sheep fed teff straw]The effect of protein supplement source or supply pattern on the intake, digestibility, rumen kinetics, nitrogen utilisation and growth of Ethiopian Menz sheep fed teff straw

The effect of five multipurpose trees (MPTs), Acacia angustissima, Acacia saligna, Chamae-cytisus palmensis, Leucaena pallida and Sesbania sesban on ciliate protozoa was investigated in rumen cannulated Ethiopian sheeBoth entodiniomorphs and holotrichs were counted. The protozoa counts from S. se...


Odenyo, A.A.Osuji, P.O.Karanfil, O.[Effect of multipurpose tree (MPT) supplements on ruminal ciliate protozoa]Effect of multipurpose tree (MPT) supplements on ruminal ciliate protozoa

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-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...


Osuji, P.O.Sibanda, S.Nsahlai, I.V.[Supplementation of maize stover for Ethiopian Menz sheep: effects of cottonseed, noug (Guizotia abyssinica) or sunflower cake with or without maize on the intake, growth, apparent digestibility, nitrogen balance and excretion of purine derivatives]Supplementation of maize stover for Ethiopian Menz sheep: effects of cottonseed, noug (Guizotia abyssinica) or sunflower cake with or without maize on the intake, growth, apparent digestibility, nitrogen balance and excretion of purine derivatives
