Intake And Digestibility By Wad Rams Fed Raw And Processed Pigeon Pea- Cassava Peel Based Diet
ABSTRACT
Four West African dwarfs (WAD)
rams average 11.55kg in weight and aged between 12-15 months were used to
determine the nutrient and digestibility of processed pigeon pea- cassava peels
based diets. The diet A, B, C, and D were formulated (from cassava peels, palm
kernel cake, brewers dried grains, bone meal and common salt) and all contains
30% pigeon pea seed meal (PSM) all differently processed. The diets were
randomly allocated to the 4 animals in a 4x4 Latin square design. Parameters
determined were feed intake, dry matter intake (DM1), nutrient digestibility
and the nitrogen balance status of each animal. Also determined were metabolic
faecal nitrogen (MFN), endogenous urinary nitrogen (EUN) and digestible crude
protein (DCP) for maintenance. Results showed that incorporating (PSM) in
cassava peels based diets generally enhanced intake in WAD sheep. The dry
matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF) and energy digestibility
co-efficient (%) showed no significant difference (P> 0.05) among
treatments. Faecal nitrogen balance and apparent nitrogen digestibility value
did not differ (P>0.05). The values (g/d) were 12.45 for diet A,23.26 for
diet B, 19.40 foe diet C and 15.52 for diet D respectively. All dies showed
negative N- balance
