Tannins limit the use of fodder trees as feed for ruminants. Removal of the effects of tannins would thus improve the nutritional quality of these trees. This prompted the study to evaluate the effect of rumen or faecal mixed cultures from different animals on tannin degradation. Tannin extracts,...

A 90-day growth trial was designed to compare the performance of calves on 3 dry-season diets composed of local resources from the Borana pastoral system. The control group received the traditional diet of cut- and carry, standing - brown grass while the other diets consisted of grass hay stored ...

This study was aimed at evaluating (1) the dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) degradabilities (by sheep) of Sesbania sesban leaves, Acacia albida (Faidhabia albida), A. siberiana and a. tortilis fruits and (2) the effect of feeding a mixture of oilseed cake and tanniferous browses on the degradabil...

Exmines the nutritive value of fruits from Acacia tortilis, A. albida, A. nilotica and A. sieberiana. Compares the fruits of these four species with the meal produced by industrial extraction of oil from noug (Guizotia abyssinica). Also compares these feeds as sources of protein when offered in c...

This study evaluated the synergism between oilseed (50:50 noug (Guizotia abyssinica) and groundnut) cake (OSC) and tanniferous feeds (pods of Acacia albida and Sesbania sesban leaves) in two experiments. S. sesban has a lower content of soluble phenolics than A. albida pods (196 vs. 270 g/kg). Di...

The rumen degradation and gas production characteristics (methane, carbondioxide) of leaves of 20 accessions of multipurpose trees (MPTs) from six genera: Acacia, Cajanus, Chamaecytisus Link, Erythrina, Leaucaena and Sesbania and some poisonous plants were investigated in vitro and in sacco in ru...

This work examined the ability of microorganisms from African ungulates to degrade 4-N-acetyl-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (ADAB) found in A. angustissima leaves, as well as purified ADAB and diaminobutyric acid (DABA). These microorganisms were taken from the rumens of bush duiker, eland, impala, Gra...
