To Determine The Intake And Digestibility Of Cassava Peel Based Diets Containing Varying Quantities Of Palm Kernel Meal.
ABSTRACT
Goats and sheep play important role in livestock production
system in Nigeria (Hossain et al., 2004). Majority of households domesticate
groups of sheep and goats alongside their crops in a mixed farming system
(Charry et aL, 1992).This suggests the relative importance of goats within the
livestock economy in Nigeria. Nutrition is one of the most important factor
that determine the profitability of livestock venture (Adii et al., 1987). The
most difficult problem in ruminant production in the tropics is the scarcity of
energy and protein feedstuffs during the dry season in particular. The
available forages for most of the year are low in protein content with a marked
decrease in voluntary intake and digestibility. Subsequently, the animal losses
weight during the critical periods of the year. However the use of agricultural
by — products like palm kernel cake have found their way in ruminant production
Proteins derived from animal source are of higher nutritional quality than
those from plant sources because of the difference in the amino acid I protein
digestibility which is about 96% for animal protein and 65% for egetable proteins
(Onwudike, 2010)
