Influence des substances polyphenoliques sur la valeur nutritive des fourrages ligneux: Synthese de recherches menees par le CIPEA
Browse is an important forage in pastoral systems, especially during dry seasons, because it is high in nitrogen and digestibility. However, browse palatability may be reduced by possible plant defenses such as tannins and physical attributes. Chemical and physical properties of 20 browse species...

Role of plant defense in the utilization of native browse in southern Ethiopia
A study was conducted to determine the intake, growth and digestibility in sheep fed forage produced from four African multi-purpose trees in combination with straw and the effects of poly-phenolics on noug cake and urea. Analyses content of nitrogen, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre...
