dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to compare the milk production potential of "Mott" dwarf elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum)(DEG), a new and untested grass in South Africa, to that of kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum), a widely used grass in intensive animal production in South Africa. Three trials were conducted: a production trial with 4 dairy cows, a degradability trial with canulated non-lactating Holstein cows and a digestibility trial with wethers.en_ZA
dc.description.abstractAFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om die melkproduksiepotensiaal van "Mott" dwerg-olifantgras, (Pennisetum purpureum)(DEG), 'n nuwe onbeproefde gras in Suid-Afrika te vergelyk met dié van kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum), 'n gras wat algemeen in intensiewe diereproduksie in Suid-Afrika gerbuik word. Drie proewe is gedoen: 'n produksieproef met 4 melkkoeie, 'n degrdeerbaarheidsproef met rumengefistuleerde, nie-lakterende koeie en ;n verteringsproef met hamels.af_ZA
