Two experiments designated A and B were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing napier grass with lucerne on dry matter intake (DMI) and weight gain (ADG) of Friesian and Sahiwal heifers. In experiment A which lasted 92 days, 24 heifers from each of Sahiwal and Friesian breeds were bloc...

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) with or without legume supplementation on nutrient intake and live-weight gains (LWG) in dairy heifers. Thirty-two, 1-year-old Friesian and Sahiwal heifers were used. Eight heifers, four from each breed...

This study determined nitrogen degradability and digestibility of rumen undegradable nitrogen using mobile nylon bag (MNB) and pepsin/pancreatin in vitro technique (IV) of 40 browse species. Thirty Ethiopian highland sheep fitted with rumen cannulae were used in nitrogen (N) degradability studies...

The aim of this work was to assess whether degradability, gas production or chemical constituents could predict the preference of browses. Forty tropical browse species leaves with a crude protein (CP) content ranging from 79 to 307 g kg-1 DM were used for this study. The neutral detergent fibre ...
