Nutritive value of four species of browse preferred by indigenous goats in a redsoil thornveld in Southern Zimbabwe

1992

Dube, J.S. (Ministry of Lands, Agriculture and Water Development, Harare (Zimbabwe). Dept. of Research and Specialist Services)

The nutritive value of Acacia karoo, Acacia nilotica, Securinega virosa and Ziziphus mucronata was investigated by laboratory analysis, the nylon bag technique and by a feeding trial. The browse species contained high N (19, 25, 34 and 26 g/kg DM, respectively) and low fibre (337, 314, 305 and 336 g NDF/kg DM, respectively). Browse intake was unrelated to tannin content or hay intake. Digestibility of browse/hay mix was significantly and negatively related to vanillin-HCI tannins or the butanol-HCI tannins
