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 ...
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 ...
Performance of growing Small East African Goats offered Rhodes grass hay and supplemented with a 1:1 mixture of Maerua angolensis: Zizyphus mucronata leaf browses.
(Livestock Research for Rural Development 22 (9) 2010, 2010)
A 56-day experiment was conducted to examine the contribution of Maerua angolensis and Zizyphus mucronata, mixed on a 1:1 ratio as a supplement to growing Small East African Goats fed a basal diet of Chloris gayana hay. ...
Effects of Supplementing Chloris gayana Hay and Maerua angolensis with Graded Levels of Maize Germ Meal on Voluntary Feed Intake, Diet Digestion, Nitrogen Balance and Average Daily Gains of Growing Small East African Goats
(2010-07)
Maerua angolensis and graded levels of maize germ meal were offered to Small East African goats to assess the effects on voluntary feed intake, diet digestion, nitrogen balance and growth. The M. angolensis was offered at ...
Supplementing Rhodes grass Chloris gayana hay with Maerua angolensis improves weight gain of growing small East African goats
(2018)
To study the performance of Small East African goats fed Rhodes grass(Chloris gayana) hay supplemented with 5 levels of Maerua angolensis (0, 15, 20, 25, 30g DM W0.75) 20 goats were divided into five groups and randomly ...

(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2016)
Abstract
A 100 days experiment was conducted to determine the effect of feeding blood meal (BM) as a replacement of
fish meal (FM), as the main source of animal protein, on growth rate and economic performance of Nile ...
Optimizing the design of small-sized nucleus breeding programs for dairy cattle with minimal performance recording
(Elsevier, 2014)
7963J. Dairy Sci. 97 :7963–7974http://dx.doi.org/ 10.3168/jds.2014-8545 © American Dairy Science Association®, 2014 .ABSTRACT Dairy cattle breeding programs in developing coun-tries are constrained by minimal and ...
Economic evaluation of progeny-testing and genomic selection schemes for small-sized nucleus dairy cattle breeding programs in developing countries.
(2016)
In developing countries minimal and erratic performance and pedigree recording impede implementation of large-sized breeding programs. Small-sized nucleus programs offer an alternative but rely on their economic performance ...
Assessing the influence of knowledge of type and numbers of livestock exchange in stock friends’ concept as a strategy in poverty alleviation; case of Ngomeni Community of Mwingi District in Kenya
(2015)
One of the challenge-facing Kenya is high levels of poverty. Different ways of poverty alleviation are applied among them is stock friends strategy. The strategy is ineffective among the Ngomeni community of ...
Nutrient digestibility in diets containing low-phytate barley, low-phytate field pea and normal phytate field pea, and the effects of microbial phytase on energy and nutrient digestibility in the low and normal-phytate field pea fed to pigs
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
Five ileal cannulated barrows (43.6 ± 1.3 kg BW) were used in a 5 × 5 Latin square design experiment to determine the apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibility of N and amino acids (AA) in low-phytate field ...
