The study was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire for 240 farmers in the districts of Burie ...
The experiments reported here were specifically designed to compare in tropical sheep and goats the digestibility, energy and nitrogen utilization of silages and silage plus concentrate under identical environmental conditions. In addition, growth trials were also conducted. The first trial utili...
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...
Forty-eight West African Dwarf sheep and goats (twenty-four each) averaging 11 kg body weight and 8 months of age, were alloted in groups of eight to six rations containing 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60% and 75% brewers' dried grain (BDG) which were fed ad libitum together with 0.5kg/head/day fresh forag...
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, ...
Undersowing sorghum with stylo as a means of improving fodder quality for dry-season grazing of livestock in the subhumid zone of Nigeria was investigated. Planting either Stylosanthes guianeusis cv 'Cook' or S. hamata cv 'Verano' simultaneously with local or improved varieties of sorghum reduced...
Lignocellulosic biomass comprises the most abundant biopolymers on earth, cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectin and lignin. The total annual production of lignocellulosic biomass is estimated at about 10–50 billion metric tonnes of which approximately 4 billion tonnes consist of annual crop residues,...
The tropical forage legume Clitoria ternatea (L.) has important agronomic traits such as adaptation to a wide range of soil conditions and resistance to drought. It is resistant to a number of pathogens and pests. These important traits gave us reasons to look more closely at the plant. A highly ...
