Rice bran and coconut cake gave as good results as maize grain in a trial with local breeds of cattle fattened on high levels of molasses/urea. The average daily gains in live weight were of the order of 570g. Acacia (Leucaena leucocephala) gave better results as a forage source than elephan grass. Local creole cattle (Bos taurus) grew 20 per cent faster than the Zebu. It is suggested that the moderate growth rates obtained reflected limiting genetic potential in the local breeds. | |
