The Multi-purpose Tree (MPT) species have the ability to fit into the farming systems of the East African region where low agricultural productivity, widespread land degradation and hence a diminishing capacity to support the growing human and livestock population are major problems. GIS has been...

A GIS-based analysis of the likelihood of adoption of some multi-purpose tree species in East Africa
Four accessions of the multi-purpose fodder tree, tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) and one of Montpellier broom (Teline monspessulana) were evaluated for dry matter yield, response to P fertiliser and nutritive value for livestock feeding, at 2 contrasting sites in the highlands of Ethiopia, o...

The first part of this study evaluated contents of hydrolysable tannins (HT) and condensed tannins (CT) of 65 accessions of tagasaste. In the second part, the effects of harvesting stage and growing season on the contents of HT, CT and alkaloids in different plant parts of the widely grown tagasa...

An experiment was conducted with Friesian X Zebu (Boran) crossbred growing steers to compare an agro-industrial by-product, wheat middling cowpea hay, and wilted forages of leucaena and tagasaste as cattle feed. These feeds were fed daily to supplement the basal diet of native hay. A mineral supp...

An experiment was conducted with four rumen-cannulated crossbred cows in a balanced 4x4 Latin square to study the effect of wilted tagasaste (Chamaecytisus palmensis) forage on rumen parameters and milk yield. The cows were fed a basal diet consisting of ad libitum native hay, mineral lick and wa...

Land degradation, low agricultural productivity and poverty are major problems in Ethiopia. The existing resources cannot support the growing human and livestock population. Currently, there is an increasing interest among researchers and development experts in leguminous multipurpose trees and s...

The effect of feeding Leucaena leucocephala, Leucaena pallida, Sesbania sesban and Chamaecytisus palmensis supplements on intake, digestibility and liveweight changes was evaluated using 102 male Ethiopian highland sheep in a 90-day trial. Teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was fed ad libitum (control d...
