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...
