Nutritional Value And Chemical Composition Of Selected Fodders; Lucerne, Greenleaf Desmodium, Sweet Potato Vines And Chicory Supplemented To Boma Rhodes Grass Hay, As Feed Intervention To Be Adopted By Smallholder Dairy Farms In Bomet County
This study evaluated the nutritional value and chemical composition of five selected fodders; Boma Rhodes, lucerne, greenleaf Desmodium, chicory and sweet potato vines which were collected from the farm in Bomet County and taken for chemical analysis in the Animal Nutrition laboratory in Animal Science department at Egerton University. These fodder species were analysed for their proximate composition, metabolisable energy,

The In-vitro Organic Matter Digestibility Of Rhodes Grass Hay Supplemented With Different Levels Of Chicory; With Or Without Yeast (saccharomyces Cerevisiae) And Evaluation Of Growth Performance On Weaned Dairy Goats
This study evaluated the in-vitro organic matter digestibility of Rhodes grass hay supplemented with different levels of Chicory- with or without brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The feeds were formulated into eight diets and offered using a CRD with a (4x2) factorial design. The diets were Rhodes grass hay and chicory supplementation at (T1:0, T2:10, T3:20, and T4:30%) as the main

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
