Description
Summary:Reports on the initial stages of a work carried out to evaluate the nutritive value of Crotalaria ochroleuca (marejea). Determines dry matter yield, chemical composition and invitro dry matter digestibility. Examines DM & OM contents and yields, chemical compostion with whole plant, leaf and stem and in vitro DM digestibility of plant parts of "marejea" with advanced plant growth.
