Can indigenous plants be harnessed to control internal worms for small stock in Botswana?
Madibela, Othusitse Ricky; Ramabu, Solomon; Tibe, Olekile (Botswana University of Agriculture & Natural Resources, 2017)Small stock offers an opportunity to contribute to poverty reduction and to empower youth and women. Rearing of sheep and goats also opens opportunities for wealth creation, job creation and to diversify animal agriculture. ... -
Carcass characteristics and meat quality of ross 308 broiler chickens fed malted red and white sorghum-based diets
Moses, Chandapiwa; Manyeula, Freddy; Radikara, Malebogo Virginia; Mareko, Molebeledi Horatious Dambe; Madibela, Othusitse Ricky (MDPI [Commercial Publisher], 2022-06-28)In this study, the effects of malted sorghum-based diets (MSBD) on carcass characteristics and meat quality were investigated in broiler chickens. Two-week-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated to three groups (each ... -
Chemical composition and gas production substrates of maize cobs treated with combinations of urea and wood ash
Abdulazeez, Abdulrazaq; Tsopito, Christopher Mareledi; Madibela, Othusitse Ricky (Federation for Animal Science (FAS), 2021-06-11)Effect of treating maize cobs with a combination of urea and wood ash (WA) on chemical composition and in vitro gas production truly degraded substrate (TDS) were examined. The treatments were:1) 100U = (100% urea and 0% ... -
Effect of substituting corn with cobs treated with combinations of urea and wood ash on chemical composition and invitro gas production substrate
Abdulazeez, Abdulrazaq; Madibela, Othusitse Ricky; Tsopito, Christopher Mareledi (Federation for Animal Science (FAS), 2021-06-11)This trial was aimed at determining the effect of substituting corn with cobs treated with urea (25%) and wood ash (75%) on chemical composition and gas production substrate. Corn was substituted with graded levels of ... -
The effects of feeding dried browse leaves on rumen ammonia levels, methanogens and protozoa amplification of sheep in the Coastal Savannah of Ghana.
Sarkwa, Felix Owusu; Tsatsu, Adogla-Bessa; Madibela, Othusitse Ricky; Mphinyane, Wanda Nchidzi; Perkins, Jeremy Simon; Timpong-Jones, Eric Cofie; Gyimah, Amos Nyarko; Otu, Benjamin Owusu; Tudeka, Christopher Kofi (Springer Link, 2023-02-14)Tanniferous browse leaves are reported to inhibit methanogens and protozoa activity in the rumen, thus contributing to a reduction of methane emission. This study evaluated the influence of feeding dried browse leaves to ... -
Effects of nutritionally-mediated increases in the plasma ammonia concentrations of donor ewes on the in vivo and subsequent in vitro development and metabolism of their embryos
Madibela, Othusitse Ricky (University of Aberdeen, 1994)A review of the literature indicated that high levels of protein in ruminant diets can lower fertility. Ammonia from proteins that are rapidly degraded by the rumen microbes has been suggested as the factor that may affect ... -
Growth performance of guinea fowl fed diets containing yellow maize, millet and white sorghum as energy sources and raised under intensive system
Uaperendua Tjetjoo, Samuel; Moreki, John Cassius; James Nsoso, Shalaulani; Madibela, Othusitse Ricky (Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2013)This study investigated growth performance of guinea fowl fed diets containing 3 cereal grains as energy sources in comparison to commercial broiler diets. Birds were raised under intensive system from 3 to 16 weeks of ... -

Growth performance, haemo-biochemical parameters, carcass characteristics and meat quality in broiler chickens fed malted sorghum-based diets
Moses, Chandapiwa (Botswana University of Agriculture & Natural Resources, 2021-06)The study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding malted sorghum grains in place of maize grains on growth performance, blood parameters and meat quality of Ross 308 broiler chickens (R3O8BC). A pilot work (Study ... -
Protein nutrition of livestock grazing high quality pasture
Madibela, Othusitse Ricky (Lincoln University, 2010)This thesis describes a series of four experiments designed to evaluate the role of the supply of protein in livestock grazing high quality pasture during mating and during pregnancy. The first two studies investigated the ...
