The effects of certain fodder tree supplements on rumen ecology and on the utilization of low quality roughages
The low quality and slow fermenting roughage basal diets in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) amply justifies the need to supplement such basal diets. Fodder trees have proved to attractive recently as energy, protein and mineral supplements when ruminants are fed such fibrous roughages. Unlike the morer uni...
