Extract

In Bangladesh, locally produced fishmeal is available as a protein source of lactating cows but there is a need to find an alternative concentrate such as a legume browse which can be grown on small farms. An experiment has been carried out to assess the effect on performance of partly replacing fishmeal with fresh foliage from Sesbania sesban.
