A study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of compensatory feeding. Twenty-five Arsi bulls (32±4 months) were blocked by weight and randomly allocated to the following feed restriction treatments: ad libitum feeding for the entire period (control), maintenance feeding level (maintenance), 1...

This study sought to determine if sheep suffer neurological symptoms when fed Acacia angustissima leaves, and whether an equivalent amount of 70% acetone extract would have the same effect. In addition, the study tried to determine if treatment of leaves with 70% acetone would destroy the activit...
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...
