Discusses the relationships between three digestion inhibitors (lignin, tannin, and biogenic silica) and the feeding behaviour of six African ungulates (Thomson's gazelle, grants gazelle, Kongoni, wildebeest, camels, and cattle (Bos indicus)) in relation to browse/grass comparisons and mixed spec...

Ebong, CyprianLittle, D.A.Reed, J.D.Durkin, J.W.[Effect of mimosine/dihydroxypyridine-metabolising organisms on the growth rate of young rams fed Leucaena leucocephala]Effect of mimosine/dihydroxypyridine-metabolising organisms on the growth rate of young rams fed Leucaena leucocephala

Twenty four male goats and 24 rams were individually fed 150g cottonseed-cake/day and, offered 25, 50 or 75 g sorghum stover per kg M daily over 75 days following a preliminary period of 21 days. Stover was offered in chopped form. Live-weight gain of sheep was higher than of goats; there was no ...

The International Livestock Centre for Africa has a genetic base of 300 accessions from 20 species of Sesbania. The largest number of these are represented by the perennials S. sesban (207), S. goetzii (18), and S. keniensis (8) and the short-lived perennial S. macrantha (97). Almost all of this ...

A study conducted to evaluate the quality of some important forage resources consumed by dual-purpose goats in western Kenya - through laboratory techniques - chemical and in vitro digestion. Includes grasses, browse plants (trees, shrubs & leguminous trees) and dual-purpose (food/forage) crops.

Summarises the history and occurance of aflatoxins in groundnut meal. Looks into the clinico-pathologic features of aflatoxins and discusses its effects on ducks, poultry, swine and ruminants as well as the implications of using groundnut meal as a feed in Africa.

Summarises ILCA's findings over several years of research on the nutritive value of browse plants. Discusses nitrogen metabolism in ruminants and tannin chemistry. Examines the effect of browse on animals, i.e., feed intake, growth, digestion of fibre fractions and utilisation of nitrogen. Discus...

Mixed farming systems in semi-arid West Africa rely on recycling organically bound nutrients to maintain soil productivity. The passage of plant biomass through ruminant livestock plays a major role in the nutrient cycles of this region. The feeding value of crop residues and browses and their im...
