Sixteen rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz type sheep were used in a completely randomized block design in experiment 1. Unchopped teff straw was fed alone or supplemented with either 100, 150 or 200 g/d of sun-dried vernonia leaves. The chemical composition of fresh, boiled, water-soaked and sun-dr...

Twenty five rumen fistulated Ethiopian Menz sheep were used in a completely randomized block design to determine roughage utilization when different types of supplements (sesbania, leucaena, cotton seed cake (CSC) and forms (fresh or dry leucaena) were fed. The chemical composition, intake, diges...

The potential forage value and appropriate length of study on intake and relative palatability ranking of 40 multipurpose tree species (MPTs) were determined using 24 sheep blocked on live weight and age. As the MPTs had different dry matter contents, intakes were also expressed as a ratio of qua...

This study investigated the effects of supplementing oat hay (OH; milk stage at harvest) with 250 g(as-fed) of either lablab (Dolichos lablab, 50 percent flowering at harvest) hay or sun dried leaves of sesbania (Sesbania sesban) with or without 91 g dry matter (DM) of crushed maize grain on rume...

A series of trials were conducted to study the effect of either nitrogen source or supply pattern on the growth, rumen fermentation pattern and utilisation of straw by Ethiopian Menz sheeAll experimental sheep were given teff straw basal diet (CON). Irrespective of the trial, treatment sheep were...

Palatability indices of dry and wilted 18 multipurpose tree species (MPTs) were determined using 12 wethers and 12 bucks (mean (+ or -) SD liveweight 17.5 (+ or -) 1.24 kg and 20.5 (+ or -) 1.46 kg, respectively), blocked into two groups on liveweight and age, housed in a roofed and half-walled s...

Three accessions of Sesbania sesban (10865, 15019 and 15036) and one accession of Sesbania goetzei (15007) were used as protein supplements for rams fed maize (Zea mays) stover in a growth trial and a digestion trial which investigated the effects of proanthocyanidins (PAs) on protein digestion. ...
