Dry Matter Intake, Digestibility and Diet Selection by Sheep Grazing on Reseeded and Naturally Regenerating Range Sites at Sheikan Locality, North Kordofan State, Sudan

Dry Matter Intake, Digestibility and Diet Selection by Sheep Grazing on Reseeded and Naturally Regenerating Range Sites at Sheikan Locality, North Kordofan State, Sudan

The aim of this study was to evaluate range quality for sheep from reseeded and naturally regenerating (un-reseeded) range sites at Sheikan Locality, North Kordofan State, Sudan. The study area suffers from over-grazing, excessive tree cutting and frequent cyclic droughts, which have led to a domination of short–lived un-preferred annual plants.
