Yankasa sheep were used to study effects of palm kernel meal (PKM) on nutrient utilization and performance. The - in sacco - degradation studies revealed that potential protein degradation in the rumen was high but the very low rate of degradation (0.031 (per hour)) made 50-61 percent protein of...

From biological data collected between January 1986 and December 1989, and economic data collected during 1988, 10-year projections of herd structure, production, and economic and financial returns were calculated for 13 village cattle herds at two village sites in the Gambia. The analyses indica...
