Diet digestibility and the degradability and rate of passage of the roughage fraction were measured for four maize-based diets containing either 50 per cent (VH50), 33 per cent (VH33), 22 per cent (VH22) or 10 per cent (VH10) roughage as natural rangeland (veld) hay. Treatment diets were offered ...

Four maize-based diets containing either 50 per cent (VH50), 33 per cent (VH33), 22 per cent (VH22) or 10 per cent (VH10) rangeland (veld) hay were offered ad libitum to 40 castrated Matabele goats aged either 18 or 24 months and slaughtered after 10 kg liveweight gain. Ten additional goats of th...

Investigates the effect of cultivar and site of growing sorghum upon yield and composition of stover. Also studies the efects of pre-harvest leaf stripping and post-harvest storage.

The adoption of `improved' sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes (i.e. drought tolerant, high grain-yielding and bird-resistant) by farmers in Ethiopia is low (Tilahun et al., 1992). Farmers prefer local, non-bird-resistant genotypes because their drought resistance and grain and stover...

Looks into the prospects for the utilization of wheat straw in Ethiopia. Discusses production, utilization and constraints to utilization of wheat straw. Examines the effect of botanical composition and extent of lignification on wheat straw utilization, physical attributes of the straw component...

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 ...

Presents results of a study conducted to determine the intake and selectivity of sheep and cattle offered sorghum stover in varying quantities and form (either chopped or unchopped). Includes data on live-weight gain, stover offered, stover intake, sheath intake, stem intake and stover refusal of...

Studies changes in the concentrations and composition of phenolic compounds in component parts of different sorghum varieties harvested at different growth stages and also after long time storage.

Compares the response of goats and sheep when offered increasing ad lib quantities of sorghum stover. Examines growth rate, stover offered, stover refused and stover intake vs amount offered.
