    Notes: Abstract The effect of browse supplementation on maize husk (Zea mays) utilization by goats was studied in a 12 week feeding and 2 week digestibility trial. Twenty-four goats were stratified according to their weight, and then randomly allocated to four treatments. Browse supplementation significantly increased (P 〈 0.05) the total dry matter intake, diet dry matter digestibility and diet organic matter digestibility (P 〈 0.05) but did not have any significant effect on acid detergent fibre digestibility (P 〉 0.05). The browse supplemented goats gained more weight than the non browse supplemented goats.

    The effect of feeding maize husk and leucaena as mixture on the voluntary intake of the husk (1993)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The effect of feeding maize husk and leucaena as a mixture on voluntary intake of maize husk was studied over a 40-day period. Ten male goats with an average weight of 15 kg were used. The treatments were: (a) maize husk fed in a mixture with leucaena and (b) maize husk plus leucaena offered in separate troughs but at the same time. The maize husk intake and total dry matter intake for the two feeding methods were about the same. Thus total dry matter intake was not affected (P〈0.05) by the method of feeding. There was also no significant difference (P〈0.05) between the two methods of feeding in the digestibility values. The data were considered to indicate that there were no significant differences in the intake of maize husk when fed in a mixture withLeucaena leucocephala or when offered separately but at the same time.
