Improving the feed Utilization of Cassava Peels in smallholder goat production

Cassava peels at 25, 50 and 100% were supplemented with varying levels of palm kernel cake a basal diet Pennisetum purpereum in an experiment designed to measure its nutritive values effect on the growth biochemical parameters West African Dwarf goats under stall feeding conditions. Goats cassava (CPL) recorded least dry matter intake (DMI). The supplementation CPL PKC significantly increased (P<0.05) DMI for 25 50% those having highest DM. matter, crude protein fibre most digested while least. lower digestibility by reflected low body weight change (0.55kg) compared other treatments. There no significant differences (P>0.05) between all blood monitored study as fell within normal range goats. It was concluded that can have great potential goat value be improved supplementing source, such cake.
