Genetic variation in the nutritive value of Gliricidia sepium. 1. Acceptability, intake, digestibility and live weight gain in small ruminants
There are widely varying perceptions of the acceptability of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. to ruminants in different parts of the tropics. The possibility that there is a genetic basis for this apparent variation was investigated in a series of feeding experiments with small ruminants. The same f...
