Investigates the nutritive value of three important native forages in southern Ethiopia (two browses and one cultivated legume) for possible inclusion in improved feeding systems for calves managed by seminomadic pastoralists. Fruits (pods & seeds) of Acacia tortilis (Forsk.) Hayne subsspirocarpa...

Acacia angustissima has potential in agroforestry systems for forage production in tropical environments. However, feeding trials indicate that the leaves are potentially toxic. Signs of toxicity in sheep are similar to those presented by sheep fed flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris) hay which contains...
Discusses the nutritive value of the crop residue and byproducts from groundnuts in relation to the potential influence that crop improvement programs could have on improving their utilization by livestock. Compares nutritional composition and in vitro digestibility of groundnut cake, cottonseed ...
Presents results of experiments conductd to study the effect of dry processing of coffee cherries and ensiling with urea on the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of coffee pulp, and the effect of variety of fibre and phenolic components. Different levels of urea were dissolved in a ...
