dc.description | An Occasional Paper on animal feed nutrition in the then Federation of Rhodesia & Nyasaland. | en |
dc.description.abstract | A knowledge of the nutritive value of feeds is essential for correct and economical feeding of farm stock. In countries where the science of agriculture has been practised for a century or more a vast amount of data has accumulated and from this reliable values have been obtained for the animal feeds in use. In the tropics the study of animal nutrition is a relatively new subject and most of the information available about local feeding stuff's is based on chemical analysis. This is true in the Federation, although a few digestibility trials with animals have been carried out. It is well known that without digestibility data chemical analysis can only provide approximate values. | en |
