Cassava: Nutrient composition and nutritive value in poultry diets

Nutritive value of cereal and cassava diets for growing and fattening pigs in Nigeria.

In a previous report (Oyenuga & Opeke, 1957) the nutritional and economic importance, real and potential, of cassava root (Manihot utilissima Pohl) to man and in livestock production in Nigeria was stressed. Cassava is not only the most widely grown vegetable in Nigeria (it accounted for nearly 50% of the total root crops produced in the country in I ~ ~ o I ) , it is also the most productive f...

Chemical composition and nutritive value of four varieties of cassava leaves grown in South-Western Nigeria.

The nutritive value of leaves of four varieties of cassava - MS 6, TMS 30555, Idileruwa and TMS 30572 was evaluated based on their chemical composition and in vitro fermentation. Crude protein (CP) contents of cassava leaves ranged from 177 to 240 g/kg dry matter (DM), with TMS 30555 showing the highest CP contents. Neutral detergent fibre (NDFom) and acid detergent fibre (ADFom) contents of ca...

Variation in Nutrient Utilization by Poultry and Ingredient Composition

Introduction This fact sheet has been developed to support the implementation of the Natural Resources Conservation Service Feed Management 592 Practice Standard. The Feed Management 592 Practice Standard was adopted by NRCS in 2003 as another tool to assist with addressing resource concerns on livestock and poultry operations. Feed management can assist with reducing the import of nutrients to...

Nutritive value of corn distillers dried grains with solubles as an ingredient of poultry diets: A review

A rapid increase in corn use in ethanol plants, and subsequent creation of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) by-products, has led to an increase in the use of DDGS in the diets of livestock. DDGS has been used all over the world as a dietary ingredient and this has necessitated more research to be conducted on its quality, nutritive values, and recommendations for feeding to poultry....
