Groundnut haulms along with cowpea hay
are major crop residues used for animal fattening in the West African Sahel. In traditional sheep fattening,feeds are always provided ad-hoc and in an unregulated
fashion, which is rather wasteful. As a preliminary study to establish the optimal feeding leve...

Describes operations of Malawi's stall-feeder scheme and presents 4 trial results comparing growth rate & efficiency of concentrate utilization of stall-fed beef cattle given meat-and-bone meal (MBM) and/or bone meal (BM) supplements to a 'madeya' (maize hominy feed) & poultry manure plus roughag...
Twenty four Ethiopian highland Zebu (Bos indicus) oxen were allocated to 6 groups of 4 animals each on the basis of liveweight, age and body condition. The animals were group-fed an experimental diet consisting of 551g/kg concentrate and 449 g/kg teff straw, at the rate of 2.5 kg per 100 kg of li...

Thirty two ram lambs were included from the on-going selection breeding programme. These lambs consisted of the Adal and Black Head Somali (16 each) and were used to study the fattening ability of the two breeds and to compare the concentrate ratio. The average initial weights and age were 14.2 K...
