  • Evaluation of tree forage as a nontraditional feedstuff for small livestock

    Creator:
    Ayers, Anne Christine
    Abstract:
    Five experiments were conducted to evaluate tree forage as a feedstuff for small livestock, using the foliage of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and hybrid poplar (Populus spp.). In the first trial, rabbits were fed diets containing 40% alfalfa (control), and 10%, 20% and 40% poplar leaves (PL) from untrimmed or...
