Graded levels of Sesbania sesban and Leucaena leucocephala as supplements to teff straw fed to Ethiopian Menz sheep
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation with fodder tree leaves on the utilization of teff straw. This was aimed at testing the hypothesis that forage supplements (e.g. sesbania) that disappear faster from the rumen compared with those that disappear slowly (eg. l...
