Proximate Composition And Palatability Of Selected Rangelands Browses From Baringo County, Kenya
Palatability and feeding value of ten (10) local browse foliages (Terminalia brownii, Grewia bicolor, Balanites aegyptiaca, Acacia brevispica, Berchemia discolor, Codia sinensis, Tamarindus indica, Ziziphus mucronata, Boscia angustifolia and Maerua angolensis from semi-arid area of Marigat sub-county in Baringo County were evaluated for the nutritive potential (chemical composition, mineral and amino acid profile). Crude protein (CP) ranged from 51.4 gkg-1dry
Nutritional Evaluation And In-vitro Organic Matter Digestibility Of Sweet Sorghum (sorghum Bicolor (l.) Moench) Silage And Chicory (cichorium Intybus (l.)
Chemical composition and in vitro organic matter digestibility were evaluated in twelve diets consisting of sweet sorghum silage supplemented with 0, 10, 20, and 30% levels of chicory. The in vitro gas production properties, polyphenols, saponins, and chemical composition were determined. SAS software (version 9.4) was used to analyze the data using the general linear model of ANOVA. Significant means
