The rumen degradation and gas production characteristics (methane, carbondioxide) of leaves of 20 accessions of multipurpose trees (MPTs) from six genera: Acacia, Cajanus, Chamaecytisus Link, Erythrina, Leaucaena and Sesbania and some poisonous plants were investigated in vitro and in sacco in ru...

Evaluation of multipurpose tree germplasm: The use of gas production and rumen degradation characteristics
This work examined the ability of microorganisms from African ungulates to degrade 4-N-acetyl-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (ADAB) found in A. angustissima leaves, as well as purified ADAB and diaminobutyric acid (DABA). These microorganisms were taken from the rumens of bush duiker, eland, impala, Gra...
Presents results of measurements of plant cover under & around acacia & Balanites trees to assess if acacias are beneficial to the productivity of rangelands with their ability to fix nitrogen.
