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...

Nine different accessions of Sesbania sesban were examined for their toxicity to ciliate protozoa from sheep receiving a mixed grass hay-barley/fishmeal concentrate in Aberdeen, Scotland. Several accessions were much more toxic than those (ILRI 10865, ILRI 15036) identified and tested in a previo...
