The effect two East African browses, A. brevispica and S. sesban, on feed digestibility and palatability were described. The browses were fed at three levels of each in combination with vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) and teff straw (Eragrostis abyssinica) in a Latin Square design to sheep and goats. Tef...

Intake and digestibility for sheep and goats consuming supplementary Acacia brevispica and Sesbania sesban
Three accessions of Sesbania sesban (10865, 15019 and 15036) and one accession of Sesbania goetzei (15007) were used as protein supplements for rams fed maize (Zea mays) stover in a growth trial and a digestion trial which investigated the effects of proanthocyanidins (PAs) on protein digestion. ...

We described the effects of two East African browses, Acacia brevispica and Sesbania sesban, on nitrogen metabolism of sheep and goats. The A. brevispica had a substantial amount of proanthocyanidins (condensed tannins); S. sesban did not. The browses were fed at three levels in combination with ...

Phenolic concentration in the leaves from 103 different accessions of Sesbania sesban (L) Merr was determined and HPLC was used to analyse the extractable phenolics. The chromatograms were subjected to cluster analysis. large variation was observed between accessions in the soluble phenolic and i...

This chapter reviews the extensive literature on the toxicity and nutritional effects of secondary plant compounds (SPC) in forages. It discusses results from the research on two forages, Sesbania sesban and Trifolium pratense (red clover), as a way of illustrating the effects of SPC on forage ev...
