Effect of stocking rate on the botanical composition and nutritive value of diets selected by West African Dwarf goats maintained on researcher-managed and farmer-managed stylo fodder banks during the cropping season in central Nigeria
In Nigeria, researcher-managed and farmer-managed West African Dwarf goats were grazed on Stylosanthes hamata (stylo) fodder banks at stocking rates of 29, 43 and 57 goats/ha and 22-25, 42-43, 50-55 and 68-92 goats/ha, respectively. Extrusa samples were taken from oesophageally fistulated goats to d...
