Harvests were made at the end of the main (April-August) and minor (September-November) wet, and dry (December-March) seasons for two years. Dry season edible forage samples were analyzed for concentrations of crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (NDF), acid det...

Seasonal variations in chemical composition, dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) degradation and gas production characteristics of 18 multipurpose trees and shrubs (MPTs) from the humid lowlands of West Africa were evaluated. The MPTs have potential for the development of integrated crop and livesto...

The feeding value of fodder from two cowpea cultivars to a basal maize stover diet was investigated using fifteen lactating White Fulani (Zebu) cows. The two cultivars were IT-716 and 994-DP. Diet was constituted as 50g DM/kg live weight and each of the cultivars was supplemented at 50 % of the d...

Rumen degradation characteristics of DM in edible forage of 25 multipurpose tree and shrub fodders (MPTS) harvested at the end of the main-wet (April-August 1992), minor-wet (September-November 1992) and dry (December 1992-March 1993) seasons were determined in rumen-fistulated Bunaji cattle (BC)...
