The type of supplementary feed required by sheep utilizing there pastures was also determined. Although oesophageally fistulated (OF) wethers selected samples of relatively good qualilty [mean values of 18.3% crude protein (CP) and 62.3% in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) from irrigated kikuyu pasture, intake studies suggested inadequate ingestion CP and digestible organic matter (DOM) by ewes during lactation.
