Abstract: Digestibility of the herbage of the indigenous tree Antiaris qfricana was investigated. Digestion coefficients (%) were-organic matter 67, dry matter 64, crude protein 78, crude fibre 39, nitrogen-free extract 74, ether extract 36 and ash 36. Calculated nutritive values were-starch equivalent 23-2 and digestible crude protein 3-7, giving a nutritive ratio of about 1 : 6. The herbage was young and its palatability high.

“…69, were both Ndamas. Innes & Mabey, 1964) the palatability of Antiaris proved to be high and about equal to that of Griffonia, the most palatable species found to date. All animals fed eagerly, large quantities of feed were taken, and even young shoots as thick as a pencil were readily consumed.…”

“…The bullocks were weighed immediately before and after the digestibility trial proper and the final mean weight per bullock was 538 lb. Procedure and methods were identical in all other respects to those previously employed (Mabey & Rose Innes, 1964a) and all animals used (excepting No. 69), were the same.…”
