Microbial nitrogen supply, nitrogen retention and rumen function in Menz sheep supplemented with dried leaves of multipurpose trees, their mixtures or wheat bran
The study was conducted at Debre Zeit Research Station of the International Livestock Research Institute in Ethiopia. Thirty-six male Menz sheep with a mean BW of 16.45+/-0.25kg were used in a completely randomized design. Nine treatment supplements consisting of wheat bran (positive control) or dri...
