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...

In vitro gas production, dry matter and nitrogen degradabilities of fresh and sun-dried foliages of four fodde trees (FTs) (Sesbania sesban, Leucaena leucocephala, Chamaecytisus palmensis (tagasaste), Vernonia amygdalina) and of teff straw were estimated. In Experiment 1, feed samples were incuba...

The effect of five multipurpose trees (MPTs), Acacia angustissima, Acacia saligna, Chamae-cytisus palmensis, Leucaena pallida and Sesbania sesban on ciliate protozoa was investigated in rumen cannulated Ethiopian sheeBoth entodiniomorphs and holotrichs were counted. The protozoa counts from S. se...

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...

Supplementation of basal diets with multipurpose trees (MPTs) increases essential nutrients available to rumen microbes, increases rate of passage of particulate matter by 23-53 percent and of liquid matter by 9-43 percent. Supplementing teff straw with graded levels of cowpea or lablab significa...

This study evaluates the differences in the gas produced by Sesbania accessions and related gas production to macro-constituents and tannin content of the browse species. Fresh samples were incubated in triplicate in a medium prepared from sieved rumen liquor harvested from two rumen-fistulated c...

Sesbania sesban and S. goetzei accessions were screened on Vertisols at PH 6.8 and acid clay soils (Nitosols) with and without application of phosphours (60 kg P/ha). Both species were generally well adapted to the Vertisols and grew to an overall mean height of 249 cm 14 months after transplanti...

Aqueous acetone extracts of mature leaves from 10 accessions of two species of Sesbania plants were prepared and anlysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC phenolic profiles were used to develop a classification rule to distinguish between accessions. Out of the 44 mature ...

Tannins limit the use of fodder trees as feed for ruminants. Removal of the effects of tannins would thus improve the nutritional quality of these trees. This prompted the study to evaluate the effect of rumen or faecal mixed cultures from different animals on tannin degradation. Tannin extracts,...

Sesbania have multifarious utilization, and in many instances growth rate is one of the most important criteria for the selection of suitable Sesbania. This paper reports results of a study on the growth rates of Sesbania on two acid soils both low in available P, but one with toxic levels of Al....
