Effect of Drying Method on Nutrient Integrity of Selected Components of Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata duch.) Fruit Flour
(2017-03)
Pumpkin is a multi-purpose fruit and leafy vegetable with abundant nutritional value and economic potential as a
food and industrial crop. Cucurbita moschata is the most common, heat-tolerant, better thriver in tropical ...
Effect of Planting Pattern of Two Herbaceous Forage Legumes in Fodder Grasses on Productivity of Grass/Legume Mixture in Semi-arid Tropical, Kenya.
(Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, 2007-01)
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect
of planting pattern of legumes on the growth,
persistence and productivity of grass/legume mixture
in the semi-arid tropical Kenya. The legumes, Seca
and Siratro ...
Evaluation of Sensory Acceptability of Bakery Products Prepared from Blended Wheat and Pumpkin Composite Flour
(Society of Science and Nature, 2017)
The pumpkin fruit of the species C. moschata Duchesne has great nutritional potential, but remains under-utilized in
Kenya. The fruits have diverse health enhancing properties. This vegetable-fruit has potential to be ...
Chemical and mineral composition, in-vitro gas production, in-sacco degradation of selected indigenous Kenyan browses
(CIPAV Foundation, 2010)
Abstract
Proximate and mineral composition, in-sacco degradation and in-vitro gas production was conducted using fifteen indigenous Kenyan multipurpose tree and shrub (MPTS) leaf browse to assess their potential as goat ...
Qualitative, Quantitative and Quality Variation of Naturalized Pumpkin Accessions in Mother and Baby Trials in Kenya
(2017)
Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata (Lam.) Poir.) is unsystematically produced in many tropical countries and
development of standard cultivars using naturalised and adapted genetic resources has not yet been done. The present ...
Effects of Mineral Supplementation On Milk Yield of Free-ranging Camels (Camelus dromedaries) in Northern Kenya.
(2006-11)
ABSTRACT : The effects of different mineral supplementations on the milk yield of free-ranging Somali camels were investigated in two phases in a semi-arid region of northern Kenya during the dry and wet seasons in 2002 ...
Effect of Intercropping Herbaceous Legumes with Napier Grass on Dry Matter Yield and Nutritive Value of the Feedstuffs in Semi-arid Region of Eastern Kenya
(2006)
Semi-arid region of Kenya is faced with inadequate quantity and low quality of livestock feeds. Research was
conducted in the semi-arid region of eastern Kenya to investigate the contribution of two legumes, Seca

(2002)
Thirty six young New Zealand white rabbits were used in a randomised complete block (RCB) design with a 3×2
factorial treatment experiment to study the suitability of sorghum as substitute for maize in the diet of growing ...
Nutritive value and Palatability rating of fifteen Selected Indigenous Kenyan Browse Species fed to Small East African Goats.
(Livestock Research for Rural Development 29 (6) 2017, 2017-06)
A palatability study was conducted using fifteen indigenous multipurpose tree leaf forages offered to twenty intact male Small East African Goats, 7 to 8 months and 18kg ± 2.1kg. The CP (gkg-1DM) of the best five species ...
Fluorescent SSR Markers and Capillary Electrophoresis Reveal Significant Genetic Diversity in Naturalized Pumpkin Accessions in Kenya
(2017)
This study was undertaken as a preliminary step in determining genetic diversity of naturalized pumpkins in Kenya. It
