Supplementation of maize stover for Ethiopian Menz sheep: effects of cottonseed, noug (Guizotia abyssinica) or sunflower cake with or without maize on the intake, growth, apparent digestibility, nitrogen balance and excretion of purine derivatives
Thirty-six male Ethiopian Menz sheep, given maize stover supplemented with either cottonseed cake, noug cake or sunflower cake with or without maize grain, were used in an 88-day study comprising growth and balance trials. There was no significant interactions. Sheep consumed significantly more stov...
