The demand for meat and milk in Southeast Asia has almost doubled in the past two decades, and this trend is expected to continue in following years. There is a need to enhance productivity in the prevalent smallholder crop animal systems, in order to match these increases in demand without jeopa...

Feed resources for ruminants in smallholder farming systems in Southeast Asia
Two roughage-based diets composed of equal parts of roughage and concentrate were fed to 45 crossbred Friesian X Zebu (Boran) calves. The roughages were either oat-vetch hay or barley straw. 25 animals were fed the diet based on oat-vetch hay and 20 the barley straw-based diet. Within these group...

Chapter One. A general introduction on feed resources in the coastal lowland Kenya, use of the legume tree forages, and their effect when used as supplements to low quality roughage is presented. This is followed by a review of the literature on the role of microbes in the rumen and the synthesis...

The effects of supplementing roughage diets with leguminous tree forages on intake, digestion and performance of crossbred cattle in Coastal lowland Kenya.
The effect of adding 10% tallow to a high roughage basal diet (75%) on animal performance and carcass characteristics of Sudan desert sheep and goats was investi- gated. Ten goats and 10 sheep were used in a 2 x 2 factorial design, with five animals per treatment. The animals were 1-1.5 years of ...

Performance and carcass characteristics of Sudan Desert sheep and goats on high roughage diets with added fat
Forty–two weaned Sudan Desert lambs of both sexes were divided into three equal sex and age groups and were randomly assigned to one of three diets: Humra + limited amount of cottonseed cake and a complete ration (dura 44 % cottonseed cake 25% dry humra 29% salt 1.5% and vitamin minerals 0.5%). A...
