The effect of abrupt and frequent changes in forage quality on nitrogen balance in crossbred steers fed napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and barley straw
The effects on crossbred steer liveweight gain of alternating the same quantities of Napier grass and barley straw at five day intervals over a 40 day period was studied (Sanda et al, 1999. These animals lost significantly more weight (p<0.05) than animals on one and ten day frequencies of alternat...
