Maize Farm Components As A Beneficial Feed For Ruminants
ABSTRACT
A study was done on the maize farm components as
farm animal feed. The chemical composition was studied for maize cob, maize and
cobs, maize grains, maize stalks and maize husks as farm animal feeds. The
maize farm components have moderate level of protein from 2.7% to 8.1%
(P<0.0 1 ). They are excellent squrce of ash observed (P<0.01) which is
the index of mineral composition. They were observed to have high dry matter
values and good quantity of organic matter (P>0.05). The cell wall is
generally high (above 50%), except the maize grain with 8.0% and maize and cobs
which has no cell wall, with (P<0.0 l ). The daily protein values which is
the total protein nutrient required by the animal per day from the maize farm
components indicated that 136.84g to 481.5g of the different samples would meet
the requirement of 13% protein equivalent for complete for ruminant
animals.
