This work determined the inter-relationships between constituents, rumen dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) degradabilities of fresh leaves from 20 multipurpose tree (MPTs) accessions belonging to the following genera: Acacia(2), Cajanus (2), Chamaecytisus (2), Erythrina (2), Leucaena (8) and Sesba...

Inter-relationships between chemical constituents, rumen dry matter and nitrogen degradability in fresh leaves of multipurpose trees
This study evaluates the differences in the gas produced by Sesbania accessions and related gas production to macro-constituents and tannin content of the browse species. Fresh samples were incubated in triplicate in a medium prepared from sieved rumen liquor harvested from two rumen-fistulated c...

The rumen degradation and gas production characteristics (methane, carbondioxide) of leaves of 20 accessions of multipurpose trees (MPTs) from six genera: Acacia, Cajanus, Chamaecytisus Link, Erythrina, Leaucaena and Sesbania and some poisonous plants were investigated in vitro and in sacco in ru...
