The effect of feeding Leucaena leucocephala, Leucaena pallida, Sesbania sesban and Chamaecytisus palmensis supplements on intake, digestibility and liveweight changes was evaluated using 102 male Ethiopian highland sheep in a 90-day trial. Teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was fed ad libitum (control d...

There are widely varying perceptions of the acceptability of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. to ruminants in different parts of the tropics. The possibility that there is a genetic basis for this apparent variation was investigated in a series of feeding experiments with small ruminants. The sam...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation with fodder tree leaves on the utilization of teff straw. This was aimed at testing the hypothesis that forage supplements (e.g. sesbania) that disappear faster from the rumen compared with those that disappear slowly (eg...

Reports the results of a 2-year study of indigenous sheep and goats in a traditional management system in Burkina Faso. Defines the production parameters under current levels of management including age at first lambing, age at first kidding, litter sizes, birth interval, weight at specific age, ...

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 humid zone of southern Nigeria has an estimated 9 million small ruminants, largely consisting of trypanotolerant dwarf goats and sheep. In spite of this, aggregate demand for small ruminant meat in the zone exceeds supply from local sources and the gap is met by supplies from the subhumid and...
