Nine different accessions of Sesbania sesban were examined for their toxicity to ciliate protozoa from sheep receiving a mixed grass hay-barley/fishmeal concentrate in Aberdeen, Scotland. Several accessions were much more toxic than those (ILRI 10865, ILRI 15036) identified and tested in a previo...

This study evaluated differences in gas production of leaves gathered from a range of multi-purpose trees (MPT) of Acacia, Cajanus, Chamaecytisus, Leucaena, Ricinus, Sesbania and Veronia species and the effect of their digesta (obtained by fermenting MPTs for 24h) on gas production of Napier gras...

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...
