Studies the possibility of using faecal Na concentrations as an indicator of Na status in cattle. Two roughage-based diets composed of equal parts of roughage and concentrate were fed to Friesian X Zebu calves. The roughages were either oat-vetch hay or barley straw. Animals were grouped accordin...

Supplementation of basal diets with multipurpose trees (MPTs) increases essential nutrients available to rumen microbes, increases rate of passage of particulate matter by 23-53 percent and of liquid matter by 9-43 percent. Supplementing teff straw with graded levels of cowpea or lablab significa...

Diet digestibility and the degradability and rate of passage of the roughage fraction were measured for four maize-based diets containing either 50 per cent (VH50), 33 per cent (VH33), 22 per cent (VH22) or 10 per cent (VH10) roughage as natural rangeland (veld) hay. Treatment diets were offered ...

The effect of adding 10% tallow to a high roughage basal diet (75%) on animal performance and carcass characteristics of Sudan desert sheep and goats was investi- gated. Ten goats and 10 sheep were used in a 2 x 2 factorial design, with five animals per treatment. The animals were 1-1.5 years of ...
