Utilization of browse supplements with varying tannin levels by Ethiopian Menz shee1. Intake, digestibility and live weight changes
The effect of tannins in browse supplements on intake, digestibility and live weight changes was evaluated using sixty-six male Ethiopian Menz sheep in a 90-day trial. Teff straw (Eragrostis tef) was fed ad libitum (control diet), or supplemented with 190 g dried leaves of six Sesbania sesban access...
