Examines the effects of supplementing diets based on common Ethiopian crop residues (teff, wheat and oat straws and maize stover) with different proportions of hay made from a common local clover, Triofolium tembense.
Discusses the nutritive value of the crop residue and byproducts from groundnuts in relation to the potential influence that crop improvement programs could have on improving their utilization by livestock. Compares nutritional composition and in vitro digestibility of groundnut cake, cottonseed ...
The potential use of diets based on maize stover and groundnut hay with either urea or sunflower seed as a supplement was investigated using indigenous Small East African goats.
