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...

Supplementation of native grass hay with cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) hay, wilted leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) forage, wilted tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) forage or a wheat middling for young Friesian X Zebu (Boran) crossbred steers
An experiment was conducted with four rumen-cannulated crossbred cows in a balanced 4x4 Latin square to study the effect of wilted tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) forage on rumen parameters and milk yield. The cows were fed a basal diet consisting of ad libitum native hay, mineral lick and wa...

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 ...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of forage type and level of concentrate supplementation on forage intake, diet digestibility and milk production. Twenty-four crossbred cows (Bos taurus X Bos indicus), in early lactation, were allocated to the following six dietary treatments...

An experiment was carried out with four rumen fistulated crossbred Friesian X Zebu lactating cows to evaluate the Na content of faeces as an indicator of Na deficiency in cattle. In addition, the effect of NaCl supplementation on the animal performance and rumen parameters was examined. The cows ...
