An experiment was conducted with Friesian X Zebu (Boran) crossbred growing steers to compare an agro-industrial by-product, wheat middling cowpea hay, and wilted forages of leucaena and tagasaste as cattle feed. These feeds were fed daily to supplement the basal diet of native hay. A mineral supp...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of molasses, given at different times, on feed intake, digestibility, degradation of hay dry matter (DM) and rumen pool fermentation. Four ruminally fistulated Friesian X Boran crossbred non-lactating cows were given a basal diet of grass hay ...

The macro mineral status of cattle in the Selale highlands of Ethiopia was evaluated during the rainy and dry seasons of 1989 and 1990 in terms of mineral concentrations in soils, feeds, blood plasma and faeces on 25 farms. Bone samples from animals of local breeds from a slaughter house were col...
