Preference and palatability of indigenous and exotic acid soil-tolerant multipurpose trees and shrubs by West African Dwarf sheep
Eleven acid soil-tolerant multipurpose trees and shrubs (MPTS) were assessed for preference and palatability with mature West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep using the cafeteria method. About 500 g each of the MPTS were weighed in triplicates into plastic feeding troughs and randomly placed around the per...
