Chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility of local landraces of sweet sorghum in Botswana

Madibela, O.R.; Boitumelo, W.S.; Manthe, C.; Raditedu, I. (Livestock Research for Rural Development, 2002)

Sweet sorghum is a variant of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L) Moench, grown in Botswana for edible juicy sweet stem instead of grain. Suitability of sweet sorghum as forage for livestock was investigated by evaluating ...

Effect of sorghum variety on chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of malted grains from Botswana

Legodimo, M.D.; Madibela, O.R. (Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2013)

This study investigated the effects of variety of sorghum on nutritional levels of malted grains. Unscreened grains of BSH1, Mahube, Phofu and Segaolane were malted and analysed for crude protein, minerals, fiber, organic ...

Deactivation Effects of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) on in vitro Dry Matter Digestibility of Colophospermum mopane (Mophane) and Acacia Browse Trees in Botswana

Madibela, O.R.; Seitshiro, O.; Mochankana, M.E. (Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2006)

This trial evaluated the deactivation effects of PEG 6000 on in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of Colophospermum mopane (Mophane) and acacia browse trees. Samples were collected from Sebele Content farm except for ...

Chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility and Gas production of four browse species and their combinations used as feed for small ruminants

Sarkwa, F.O.; Madibela, O. R.; Adogla-Bessa, T.; Mphinyane, W. N.; Perkins, J.S.; Timpong-Jones, E.C. (West African Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020)

Browse species as complete feed for ruminants is uncommon. This may be due to low dry matter (DM) and high condensed tannins (CT) contents limiting its potential to influence weight gain. Drying however improves DM content ...
