Effect of abrupt and frequent changes in forage quality on digestibility and performance of crossbred cattle offered Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and barley straw
Seasonal variation in feed supply, is recognised as an important constraint to animal production in the tropics. However, day to day fluctuations in quantity and quality of feed are also common in stall-fed animals on smallholder dairy farms. Opportunistic use of feeds available in small amounts, su...
