ABSTRACT
Twenty
four New Zealand X Chinchila weaner bucks aged between 7-8 weeks and averaging
0.9kg in weight were randomly divided into 4 groups of 6 (six)animals per group.
Four experimental diets were randomly assigned to the four treatment groups The
diets were a control A — a normal weaner ration compounded from: maize, maize
offal, soyabean, blood meal, oyster shell, bone meal and vitamin premix; and
B.C. and D in which 10% of maize was replaced by sundried, ensued and fermented
cassava peels. The protein (%) and energy (Kcal DE) contents of the diets were 16:18,
2.96; 16.10, 2.89; 16.20, 2:87 and 16.08, 2.90; for diets A,B,C and D
respectively. Average daily feed intake, average daily body weight gain, feed
conversion ratio, carcass characteristics were evaluated. Results indicated
that dietary treatment did n&t influence (P>0.05) average daily feed
intake and average daily weight gain among experimental animals. Also feed
conversion ratio was not affected by dietary regime (P>0.05). Carcass
characteristics were however similar among treatment groups apart from the
significant (P<0.05) values recorded for dressed and stomach weights.
