Chemical Composition of Selected Green Plants Available to Small Ruminants in the Dry Season in Humid Nigeria

Chemical Composition of Selected Green Plants Available to Small Ruminants in the Dry Season in Humid Nigeria

Chemical analysis to assess the mineral status of fifteen randomly sampled mature dry season plants available for grazing by small ruminants in the humid tropics of Nigeria was carried out. A minimum mineral nutrient composition of 9.19, 0.22, 0.20, 0.07, 1.17, 0.02 % DM for CP, Ca, Mg, P, K and Na...
