| dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding Tithonia diversifolia
(Tithonia) with Calliandra calothyrsus (Calliandra) and Sesbania sesban (Sesbania) tree
legume forages as protein supplements to a basal diet of urea treated maize stover. Sixteen
goats (German Alpine crosses) averaging one year and weighing 11.7±1.8 kg were used to
measure the feed intake, digestibility and live weight gains for 7 weeks. The basal diet (urea
treated maize stover) plus 100g of maize germ was offered alone (control) or supplemented
with 30% on dry matter basis of Tithonia, Calliandra and Sesbania, respectively. | en_US |
