| dc.description.abstract | Growth and metabolic studies were conducted with twenty four goats (12 males and 12 females). They were fed on ration consisting of basal fresh P. maximum and cassava chips alone or in combination with cassava hay (T1, T2, T3 and T4). Cassava supplements were offered at 1% liveweight (DM). Supplementation with cassava chips, with or without cassava hay decreased (P<0.0001) P. maximum DM intake. However, total DMI of the animals fed cassava- based diets was significantly (P<0.0001) higher than DMI of animals fed T1. Digestibilities of DM, CP and CF were also significant (P<0.0001). Although N intake values were not significant (P>0.0001), animals fed T1 recorded the least N retention value (0.03g/day/W). | |
