Effect of wheat bran supplementation at graded levels on changes in physical body composition in teff straw (Eragrostis tef) fed Zebu (Bos indicus) oxen of the Ethiopian highlands
The effect on body composition and carcass components of highland Zebu Bas indicus) oxen fed tef 'j' straw as basal diet and varying level of wheat bran as supplement was investigated. Fifty four castrated Zebu oxen, of 5-6 years age and similar body condition were allocated to three treatment group...
