The effect of Acacia angustissima on rumen fermentation was evaluated. Acacia angustissima was fed to two groups of cannulated Ethiopian highland sheeOne group (three animals) was directly supplemented with 300 g per head day-1 of sun-dried A. angustissima. These animals died after 9 and 21 days ...

The effect two East African browses, A. brevispica and S. sesban, on feed digestibility and palatability were described. The browses were fed at three levels of each in combination with vetch (Vicia dasycarpa) and teff straw (Eragrostis abyssinica) in a Latin Square design to sheep and goats. Tef...

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...
