Effect of two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) fodder cultivars as supplements on voluntary intake, milk yield and manure production of Bunaji cows
The feeding value of fodder from two cowpea cultivars to a basal maize stover diet was investigated using fifteen lactating White Fulani (Zebu) cows. The two cultivars were IT-716 and 994-DP. Diet was constituted as 50g DM/kg live weight and each of the cultivars was supplemented at 50 % of the dail...
