lownitrogen content,which limits microbial activity in the rumen.<strong>The</strong> experiment was conducted to<br />
evaluate the growth and biomass production of Brazilian jackbean(Canavalia brasiliensis) Mart ex Benth at<br />
Tumbi, Tabora.<strong>The</strong> dry season lasts between 5-7 months characterized by poor health and low<br />
productivity of cattle. This study was carried out to evaluate the performance of Brazilian jackbean<br />
(Canavalia brasiliensis) Mart ex Benth growth, biomass production and opportunities of increasing crop<br />
residues quality with C.brasiliensis in the dry season.C. brasiliensis was planted both as a monocrop and as<br />
an intercrop with maize during the middle of the cropping season. <strong>The</strong> experiment was layed out in<br />
Randomized complete Block Design with three replications.Treatments were(a)Maize monocropping(b)<br />
Maize-canavalia single hole planting(c) Maize-Canavalia 5 cm appart(d) Cannavalia monocropping.<br />
Results show that there was significant differences at(P
