Abstract:

One of the major constraints to livestock production is feed which necessitated this study. Twenty (20) browse species of semi-arid origin from the Semi-arid zone (Guinea Savannah vegetational zone) of Nigeria were screened for chemical composition and Rumen Degradation Characteristics (RDC) as a means of evaluating the feed values of the plants under study. The study conducted determined the chemical composition and rumen degradation characteristics of some browse plants and crop residues using the Orskov’s exponential equation P = a + b (1-e<sup>-ct</sup>). Three grams (3g) of each sample in

Abstract:

The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of some selected semi-arid browse forages. Ten browse forages consumed by ruminants were selected for the study. They were subjected to chemical, mineral and anti-nutritional analysis as well as rumen degradation. Results revealed that the browse species had high levels of crude protein that varied among the species ranging from 8.15% in Vitellaria paradoxa to 21.07% in Acacia senegal. The mean rumen degradability of the browses showed 17.79%, 33.38%, 45.65%, 50.17%, 54.31% and 62.21% at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of incubation respe

Abstract:

TWENTY-TWO plant species common to Sudan Savanna zone were identified as useful browse from a survey of Bin-Yauri grazing reserve in the Sokoto State of North West Nigeria. Leaf samples of the browse collected the peak period of the dry season showed high nutritive values with crude protein above 14 percent in majority of them. IVDMD was positively and significantly correlated with crude protein (r–0.89) Mineral contents were also high in all cases except that few species were low in phosphorus Importance of browse to make up nutrient deficiencies in animals during dry season is emphasised It

Abstract:

Thirty-six browse plants found in natural pastures and used in small ruminant feeding were collected during the dry season. Their leaves were assayed for their contents of macro- and micro-mineral elements. Mg, Ca, Na, and K contents were noticeably high with overall mean levels of 0.35, 0.44, 0.059, 0.05 and 1.61% respectively while those for Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu were respectively 79.28, 803.39, 588.64 and 13.08 ppm in the leaves. Most of the leaves had moderate Ca: P ratios though Terminalia catapa leaves had as high a ratio as 42 while the overall mean Ca/P was 4.49 ± 1.19- P., Cu and Zn were

Abstract:

A study of multipurpose browse and grass species from four rural communities of Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State was conducted between 2005 and 2006. Structured questionnaires were administered to farmers in the four communities. A total of 38 plant species belonging to 24 plant families were identified as multipurpose browse species. A greater number of the plant species are used for fuel wood (22 species), for fruits and leaves as vegetables (20 species) and for human and veterinary medicine (16 species).
