Young Watish lambs grazing berseem grow at 148 and 105 g/day for males & females respectively, over a 20-week period. The provision of various concentrate supplements marginally increased live-weight gains but this practice was not recommended as being of economic value. Hot carcass weight of you...

The study included two trials, each of two phases, to investigate the feasibility of finishing Adal lambs on irrigated pasture and the effect of concentrate supplementation. Fifty-one ram lambs with initial mean weight of 11.9 kg and mean age of 18 week were used in phase 1 Trail 1 while phase 2 ...

Twenty-four growing indigenous Tanzanian male goats were studied in a completely randomized design experiment with four treatment groups for growth rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR), dressing percentage and carcass composition. The four groups of goats were fed hay ad libitum (A) and hay ad libit...

An attempt was made to use anal skinfold thickness as a quantitative measurment to estimate body fatness in Boran cattle (Bos indicus). Using the normal single-operator technique the relationship between skinfold thickness and the other measurements was poor but was greatly improved by using two ...

The morphological and phenological variations in 46 accessions of Lablab purpureus were evaluated in 2000 and 2001 in Samaru, Zaria in the moist savanna zone of Nigeria. Accessions were classified into various groups according to plant structure, flowering time and pod and seed characters. Based ...
Information is scanty on seasonal changes in the yield and quality of forage legumes adapted to the West African savannas. Two experiments were conducted from 1992-1994 in the derived savanna zone of West Africa to determine the dry matter (DM) yield and 48-h in sacco DM digestibility of 17 acces...

Feed shortage in urban and peri-urban areas has triggered the emergence of feed markets in Northern Ghana. These markets were surveyed at three locations (Tamale, Bolgatanga, and Wa markets) to determine types and prices of feedstuffs sold across seasons; early dry (November–January), late dry (F...
