The potential of Desmodium intortum, Macrotyloma axillare and Stylosanthes guianensis hays for improving the digestibility of a standard diet of maize stover was assessed using in sacco, in vitro and in vivo methods. In sacco degradability results showed that S. guianensis hay had the highest pot...

The supplementary value of forage legume hays in sheep feeding: Feed intake, nitrogen retention and body weight change
A survey was conducted in Kochre (Fiseha Genet) Woreda (district) of Gedeo Zone, southern Ethiopia to identify the production situation and some productivity and physical characteristics of sheep and goats traditionally managed by small farmers in the area. The adult male: female ratio is 1: 4.2 ...
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of supplementing increasing levels of dried tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) leaf on the nutrition and performance of sheep fed a basal diet of barley straw. The study had four treatments, which involved supplementation of dried tagasaste...
