The influence of night grazing on feeding behavior, nutrition and performance of cattle was studied. Twenty-four steers weighing 367 kg (SD = 76) grazed either from 0900 to 1900 (day grazers), 2100 to 0700 (night grazers) or 0900 to 1900 and 2400 to 0400 (day-and-night grazers) during 13 weeks. F...

An input/out put feeding trail was conducted to compare the performance of Boran and Arsi cattle, in cattle, in Ethiopia. The cattle were introduced to feed a high molasses ration 48.5% DM, Noug seed cake 21.7% DM, Maize grain 8.6% DM, eragrostis hay 20% DM, and minerals 1.2% DM both zebu types o...

Two trials were performed to study the fattening performance of Ethiopian highland sheep under feed-lot conditions. Three diets were tried; A-20 % hay, B -35% hay and C-50% hay. Trial I had the three diets represented on 84 non-descript highland all-milk-tooth ram lambs, while in Trial II, only, ...

Compares influence of various feeding systems on meat production from Brahman x Fulani crossbreeds and indigenous breeds of zebu cattle at the Wakwa research station, Cameroon. The response to intensive fattening was better for the crossbred steers (Brahman x Fulani) than for the local breed (Ful...

Presents results of a study of a beef-fattening project in which smallholder farmers in the semi-arid zone of Mali were provided with credit to purchase mature cattle for fattening programme. The daily weight gain in animals kept permanently housed was on average higher than in animals which were...

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...
