Effect of age on fattening and body condition of draught oxen fed teff straw (Eragrostis teff) based diets
Twenty four Ethiopian highland Zebu (Bos indicus) oxen were allocated to 6 groups of 4 animals each on the basis of liveweight, age and body condition. The animals were group-fed an experimental diet consisting of 551g/kg concentrate and 449 g/kg teff straw, at the rate of 2.5 kg per 100 kg of livew...
