The effects of feeding dried browse leaves on rumen ammonia levels, methanogens and protozoa amplification of sheep in the Coastal Savannah of Ghana.
(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 ...
Can indigenous plants be harnessed to control internal worms for small stock in Botswana?
(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. ...
