The experiment was carried out using a replicated (3x3) Latin square design with six sheep, to assess, the effect of supplementing maize stover fed ad libitum at three levels (100, 150 or 200 g) of Leucaena diversifolia. The sheep had an initial live weight of 26.4 kg (+ or -) 1.78 kg. In each pe...

Data collected on 3256 lambs born to Horro and Menz breed ewes single-sire mated to 71 rams at the International Livestock research Institute (ILRI) Debre Berhan station between September 1992 and June 1996 were analysed for rates of survival and growth from birth to weaning. A significantly lowe...
