The effect of genotype (50%, 75% and 87.50, levels of milk (2 and 3 1/day) and types of housing (Barn and Hutch) on growth and survival were examined using thirty four crossbred calves Boran x Freisian (Bos Taurus x Bos indicus). Calves had access to a complete diet supplement (180 g/kg CP and 10...

Twenty-four multiparous Zebu × Friesian crossbred cows, were fed maize-lablab stover as basal diet and allocated to four graded levels of lablab hay (0%, 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2% BW) treatments in a study to investigate effects of levels of lablab supplementation on body weight changes and reproductiv...

Variations in availability and nutritional quality of feed resources in the tropics affect cattle production under smallholder production systems. This results in undernutrition of cattle because of fluctuations in feed and nutrient supply. The term undernutrition is very complex and not clearly ...
