Body weight changes and reproductive performance of crossbred cows fed maize-lablab stover ad libitum and supplemented with graded levels of lablab hay
Twenty-four multiparous Zebu × Friesian crossbred cows, were fed maize-lablab stover as basal diet and allocated to four graded levels of lablab hay (0%, 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.2% BW) treatments in a study to investigate effects of levels of lablab supplementation on body weight changes and reproductive p...
