7.5 Urea and Poultry Manure as Protein Supplement to Low Grade Grass for Sheep in the Accra Plains
Keyword(s):
The low protein content of dry season forage and its growth retarding effect on livestock has long been recognised as one of the main technical bottlenecks in ruminant livestock production in the tropics (Oyenuga, 1957; Lansbury, 1958; Rose-Innes, 1960). Such nutrient deficiency results in as much as 15% live-weight loss in grazing animals during the dry season, this delaying their maturity (Rose-Innes, 1960; Otchere, Dadzie, Erbynn and Abyebo, 1977). To help solve this problem, nitrogenous feedstuffs such as urea, poultry manure, groundnut cake and copra cake have been examined. Reported here is work on urea and poultry manure tested on West African Forest Type lambs at Legon, Ghana.
