a,b,c,dMean values with different superscripts within a row are significantly different at = (), = (), and = (). DM: dry matter; OM: organic matter; CP: crude protein; NDF: neutral detergent fiber; ADF: acid detergent fiber; SEM: standard error of the mean; SL: significant level; ns: nonsignificant. T1 = Rhodes grass hay ad libitum + 100% concentrate mix; T2 = Rhodes grass hay ad libitum + 75% noug seed cake (NSC) and 25% dried mulberry and Vernonia mixed leaves’ meal; T3 = Rhodes grass hay ad libitum + 50% NSC and 50% dried mulberry and Vernonia mixed leaves’ meal; T4 = Rhodes grass hay ad libitum + 25% NSC and 75% dried mulberry and Vernonia mixed leaves’ meal; T5 = Rhodes grass hay ad libitum + 100% dried mulberry and Vernonia mixed leaves’ meal. |
