Summary
Results of two fattening trials are presented. The basal diet comprised Setaria sphacelata grown as an anti-erosive measure on contour bunds. In the first trial, it was supplemented by concentrates and in the second by browse plants. The groups receiving concentrates did not realise better gains than those on grass alone. The best proportions of browse in the ration allowed high DM intakes and better daily gains than for animals fed only on grass.
