A digestibility trial was conducted with the objectives to evaluate the effects of supplementing single or mixtures of selected MPTs or wheat bran on feed intake, digestibility, and passage rate in Menz sheep offered a basal feed of tef (Eragrostis tef) straw. The study was conducted using 36 mal...

Tannins limit the use of fodder trees as feed for ruminants. Removal of the effects of tannins would thus improve the nutritional quality of these trees. This prompted the study to evaluate the effect of rumen or faecal mixed cultures from different animals on tannin degradation. Tannin extracts,...

We established hedges/barriers of calliandra (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissner), leucaena (Leucaena trichandra (Zucc.) Urban)) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum chumach) and combination hedges of either calliandra or leucaena with napier grass on slopes exceeding 5% to study the effect of veg...

The genus Leucaena is one of the most important sources of multipurpose trees and shrubs for use in farming systems in the African tropics and subtropics. In previous studies, Kashsay and Tothill (1995) identified the superior performance of Leucaena pallida and L. diversifolia as highly producti...

The long term effect of supplementation of Leucaena pallida and Sesbania sesban on growth and reproduction performance was determined on 30 male Ethiopian highland sheep and 25 East African goats. Unchopped teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was given ad libitum and supplemented withe ither wheat bran (...

Details the voluntary food intake, live-weight change and lactation performance of 36 crossbred Ayrshire/Brown Swiss X Sahiwal cows fed from the 3rd week of lactation for 14 weeks on diets of napier fodder offered ad libitum and supplemented w. fresh leucaena fodder. Average daily milk yield duri...
