“…The IVDOM range of the plants in the present study (53 to 64%) fell within the range of 36 to 69% in vitro DM digestibility observed for tropical browse plants (Sawe et al, 1998) and in vivo OM digestibilities in goats (Kibria et al, 1994). However, the IVDOM levels were markedly lower than the in situ DM degradation of the same plant material.…”

“…The value of these plants in animal nutrition is associated with features such as abundance, accessibility, protein content and quality in terms of available energy, minerals and vitamins (Kibria et al, 1994;Ramírez, 1998). The attention is focused on trees in terms of their utilization as browse for both livestock and game, but also in feeding strategies such as chopping and feeding them as part of the diet to livestock, or during periods of feed shortage (Topps, 1992;Kibria et al, 1994). Foliage is claimed to have a great potential as protein supplements to graminaceous fodder and crop by-products containing low protein and fermentable energy levels (El hassan et al, 2000).…”

The foliage of three Combretum species, C. apiculatum, C. molle and C. zeyheri, as well as that of Colophospermum mopane was collected over a period of two years. The chemical composition, in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) and the rumen degradability of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) were determined on these samples. Mean values for crude protein (CP) concentration varied from 92 g/kg DM for C. molle to 141 mg/kg DM for C. mopane, the neutral detergent fibre concentration from 323 g/kg DM for C. apiculatum to 392 g/kg DM for C. molle and that of acid detergent fibre from 247 g/kg DM for C. apiculatum to 355 g/kg DM for C. molle. The calcium (Ca) concentration in the foliage was high (8-16 g/kg DM) compared to the phosphorus (P) concentrations of between 0.8-2.1 g/kg DM, resulting in an average Ca : P ratio of 9.3 : 1. The foliage contained relatively low levels of sodium (Na), 0.041 g/kg DM, based on beef cattle standards. The IVOMD ranged from 53% for C. mopane to 64% C. apiculatum and the rumen degradability of DM from 78% for C. molle to 94% for C. apiculatum. The DM degradability was substantially higher than that of nitrogen, which varied between 47% for C. apiculatum and 60% for C. zeyheri. It was concluded that the foliage tested would not be suitable sources of N to supplement protein deficiencies in low quality herbage. Furthermore, browsers would require additional sources of P and Na to avoid deficiencies in these elements.

“…Oldham et al (1991) found that young ewes that grazed C. palmensis grew significantly more wool than their flockmates on supplemented dry pasture (Table 1). In Bangladesh, Kibria et al (1994) found that goats fed leaves of Artocarpus sp and L. leucocephala gained weight at a rate of 43.9 and 52.8g/day respectively. Further, in New Zealand browse species such as Ulex europaeus, C. palmensis and Salix species are used as supplementary fodder for sheep, goats and deer during summer drought (Borens and Poppi, 1990;Oppong et al, 2001).…”

This paper reviews the main determinants of productivity and quality of forage from browse species and highlights the usefulness of browse plants as fodder sources. The effect of secondary plant metabolites on forage quality and the consequential effects on browse acceptability and intake are presented. Condensed tannin (CT) is emphasised due to its nutritional advantage if it occurred at an acceptable level (< 50 gCT/ kg DM). The practical implication of this limit has been questioned and it is speculated that it may vary with plant species as the function of CT depends on its structure and level of polymerisation. Gaps in our knowledge of browse plants are identified and areas requiring further research are indicated.

“…The sources of biomasses for this study are cultivated at different places in Bangladesh which includes ipil-ipil tree, koroi tree and krishnachura tree. The local name and scientific nameof these trees are listed in Table III (Kibria, 1994;Mwang'ingo, 2010;Suarez, 2000;Vargasa et al, 2011). Characteristics data of those woody biomasses are given in the Tables I-II.…”

Objective of this work was to pyrolysis woody biomass. Experiments were carried out at 300 to 500 o C. Relatively bigger particles were used. Special emphasis was given to investigate the effects of heating rate and heating up time of the central mass of the particles on the product distribution. Surface temperature reached to the reactor set temperature immediately while the temperature at the central part was as low as 50 o C. The center temperature gradually increased to the final temperature within 3 to 8 minutes, depending on the wood types and the reactor set temperature. For ipil-ipil wood the heating rate of the central mass was much faster than krishnachura and koroi woods, and thus the heating up time was lower. Ipil-ipil wood was experienced higher yield (65%) even at lower reactor temperature 300 o C with particle temperature 450 o C. In the case of krishnachura and koroi woods, the bio-oil yields were lower under the same condition due to the heating rates of the central parts were much slower. Further researchon different biomasses may be necessary to demonstrate overall process.
