Evaluation de valeur nutritive des issues de cereales: consequences sur l'etablissement de normes alimentaires pour les animaux de trait
Presents findings of a study carried out to determine differences between 24 sorghum varieties in digestibility of leaf and stem components and yield of stover. Emphasis is given to encourrage breeds involved in slelecting sorghum varieties for use on small farms where sorghum stover is an import...
