The aim of this experiment was to investigate the growth performance and physiological response of weaned pigs fed diets supplemented with a novel phytogenics (FCTNC). A total of 100 cross bred male pigs (Landrace × Duroc) with an initial weight of 6.31 ± 0.25 kg and weaned at 21 days were individually housed in a semi-open sided pens. Pigs were di...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing cassava peels-cassava foliage concentrate on rumen parameters of grazing West African Dwarf goats on rumen parameters. Twenty growing (20) West African Dwarf bucks aged 5-7months with an average body weight of 5.05±0.02kg were used in a completely randomized (CRD) experiment. The goat...

The use of water melon rind as supplementary feed materials for rabbit

A total of one hundred and forty four (144) broiler chickens in a 42-day trial were used to evaluate the effect of graded levels of palm kernel cake on the performance and haematological characteristics of broilers. The broilers were randomly allotted to four treatments with 0%, 10%, 20% and 30 % PKC inclusion levels designated as treatments 1, 2,...

32-7 weeks weaned male rabbits (Newzealand × Chinchilla) weighing 611.3 ± 10 g were randomly distributed into 4 groups of 8 rabbits per treatment with one animal per replicate in a completely randomized design. Rabbits in treatment 1 (control) designated as T1 was fed basal diet with 0 mL Rubia cordifolia root extracts (RCE) while T2, T3 and T4 wer...

The study was conducted to evaluate the rumen characteristics and thermo physiological response of West African Dwarf goats fed pineapple waste and cassava peel concentrate in Anyigba, Kogi State. Twelve growing West African Dwarf goats with average weight 4-5±0.05 kg and approximately 4 to 6 months of age were randomly allotted four (4) dietary tr...

The use of water melon rind meal as an alternative feed resource in rabbit production

47th Annual Conference of Nigerian Society of Animal Production, JOS 2022.

The effects of feeding graded levels of water melon rinds (WMR) on nutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization of weaner rabbits were studied. Twelve (12) weaner rabbits of mixed breed with initial weight of 760g-843.33g were used in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replicates per treatment. Four diets were formulated in which tr...

This study was conducted to evaluate carcass and histopathological characteristics of growing West African Dwarf goats fed derived dietary models of urea-treated cassava peels fortified with CaP salt mix. Twenty (20) growing West African Dwarf female goats aged 6-8 months with an initial weight of 8.2 kg ± 0.25 were used for the study. They were ra...

Introduction: The major goal of ruminant nutritionist is to supply feed in adequate and required quantity and quality to farm animals for optimum productive performance.

Twenty (20) West African dwarf goats aged 6 to 8 months having average liveweight of 8.20±0.25kg were fed different forms of urea treated cassava peel meal fortified with Calcium-Phosphorus salt-mix to determine performance characteristics in a 60-day trial. Goats were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments each consisting of five replicates...

The study evaluated the carcass yield and whole sale cuts of sixteen growing West African dwarf bucks fed Panicum maximum supplemented with bambara nut offal and cereal spent grains. The goats were allotted into four (4) treatments of four goats each. The goats were fed Panicum maximum at 250 g/goat/day and a concentrate supplement diet at 150 g pe...

Objective: This study was conducted to determine nutrient intake of growing West African Dwarf goats fed different dietary models of ensiled cassava peel meal fortified with Calcium-Phosphorus salt mix. Methods: Twenty (20) growing West African Dwarf female goats aged 6–8 months with an initial weight of 8.2 kg ± 0.25 were used for the study. They...

Twenty West African Dwarf bucks about4-6 months with an average body weight of 5.02±0.20kg were used for a Completely Randomized Design experiment to investigate their haematology and serum biochemistry. They were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments: 100% cassava peel (Diet 1), 50:50 cassava peel-cassava foliage (Diet 2), 60:40 cassava pee...

This study was carried out to evaluate the performance and bio-economics of yearling West African dwarf goats fed cashew nut shell diets. Four diets containing 0 (control), 5, 10 and 15 % steam-treated cashew nut shell coded as T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively, were compared. Sixteen yearling, West African dwarf goats were randomly assigned to four...

Sixteen (16) yearling West African dwarf bucks aged about 12 months old, with a weight range of 9.80-10.00 kg were used in a feeding trial to evaluate the digestibility and performance of West African dwarf goats, fed graded dietary levels of cashew nutshell as supplement to bamboo leaves. The goats were fed diets containing graded levels of cashew...

Yearling West African dwarf bucks were allotted into four (4) dietary treatments of four goats each. The goats were fed bamboo leaves at 250g/goat/day and concentrate supplement diets containing 0%,10%,15%and 20% cashew nutshell for T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively at 150g per goat/day for a duration of sixty-three (63) days. The experimental design...

A total of Three hundred and seventy five (375) one day old (Ross 308) broiler chicks with mixed sex were used to examine the effects of Albizia lebbeck stem bark (ATSM) aqueous extract as alternative to antibiotic feed additives in broiler chicks diets: haematology, serum biochemical indices and oxidative status. Birds were divided to five treatme...

A study was carried out to determine rumen characteristics and physiological response of growing West Africa dwarf bucks fed nitrogen supplemented cassava peels. Forty (40) growing West African Dwarf bucks aged 5-7 months with an initial weight of 5.25kg ± 0.35 were used for the study. The animals were allocated to five treatments with eight (8) go...

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted with 40 growing West African Dwarf bucks aged 5-7 months with an initial average weight of 5.25 kg ± 0.35 to determine their hematological and serum biochemical parameters. The goats were randomly allocated to five treatments namely: T1 (100% urea-treated cassava peel), T2 (60% untreated cassava peel + 40% cassa...

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance of growing WAD goats fed nitrogen supplemented cassava peel meal. Forty growing West African Dwarf Goats (WAD) bucks aged 5-7 months with an initial weight of 5.25kg ± 0.35 were used for the study. The goats were randomly assigned to five supplementary cassav...
