The role of pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium) marc in livestock nutrition - a review.
(University of Nairobi, 1989)This review concludes that pyrethrum marc has more potential as a livestock feed than most crop residues or agro-industrial byproducts. When fed at not more than 50% of total diet to sheep and dairy cows pyrethrum marc ... -
Prediction of the useful energy in tropical feeds from proximate composition and in vivo derived energetic contents. 1. Metabolisable energy.
(University of Nairobi, 1997)Multiple regression models were used to predict ME from the proximate composition of 345 tropical forages and 37 concentrates. ME was derived from published digestibility experiments with sheep and cattle. Linear, quadratic ... -
Metabolizable energy requirements for maintenance of Kenyan goats
(University of Nairobi, 1989)Twenty goats, aged 7 months and weighing between 13 and 18 kg, were given diets containing 0, 20, 40 and 60% coffee pulp and hay ad libitum for 20 weeks. Metabolizable energy (ME) intake was estimated in vitro during 12- ... -
Coffee pulp: some indices of nutritional importance.
(University of Nairobi, 1988)Coffee pulp contained metabolizable energy 11 MJ/kg DM, a value that is about double that in grasses and 75% that in cereal grains. The high percentage of hulls in the pulp lowered its nutritive value as hulls were high ... -

Effect of feeding system on adequacy of diet minerals for lactating cows
(University of Nairobi, 1993)To what extent different sources of feed cover the mineral requirements of lactating cows in the absence of mineral supplementation was studied. Lactating Friesians, Ayrshires and their crosses with zebu were used in 90-day ... -

An assessment of the mineral supply to dairy cows fed mixed diets
(University of Nairobi, 1994)In on-farm trials in Kenya, a total of 18 lactating cows were fed for 3 months on various types of fodder, pasture and concentrate in zero-grazing, semi zero-grazing and grazing systems of smallholder milk production. ... -
Performance of Sahiwal calves fed on colostrum preserved by different methods.
(University of Nairobi, 1998)Colostrum preserved by 5 different methods was fed to 35 preweaning Sahiwal and Sahiwal crossbred calves from 6-30-days-old for a period of 4 weeks. Seven control calves were fed whole milk (WM). Colostrum was treated with ... -
Toxicity of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis surface lipid to skin and regional lymph nodes in goats
(University of Nairobi, 2008)The toxicity of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis surface lipid to skin and draining regional lymph nodes in goats was investigated. Five goats were injected intradermally at two skin sites with 5 mg of the surface lipid ... -
Trends and correlates of HIV testing amongst women : lessons learnt from Kenya : original research
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Background: A majority of women in Kenya do not know their HIV status and are therefore unable to take preventive measures or medication in order to prolong their lives. Objectives: This study investigates the key ... -
