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 ...

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 ...
