Palatability of multipurpose tree species: Effect of species and length of study on intake and relative palatability by sheep
The potential forage value and appropriate length of study on intake and relative palatability ranking of 40 multipurpose tree species (MPTs) were determined using 24 sheep blocked on live weight and age. As the MPTs had different dry matter contents, intakes were also expressed as a ratio of quanti...
