“…This meant that the protein contribution from cashew nut shell (7.16-7.89%) increased the diet's CP. The CP was greater than that of Ocheja et al, [10]; Ocheja et al, [19], who fed steam-treated cashew nut shell to WAD goats. The crude protein levels obtained were higher than the 7% CP level advised by McDonald [20] for rumen microbial activity and animal maintenance.…”

“…With greater raw CNS addition, ether extract reduced, implying that the feed's energy density is poor. The diets had higher ash content than the range (1.09 percent) described by Ocheja et al [10]. High ash content could be caused by silica or even the remains of dead microorganisms [20,9].…”

“…Cashew nut shell is a nonconventional feed stuff and by-product of the cashew nut processing factory which does not have any direct use by human and it is considered safe and readily available. Cashew nut shell has been reported to contain 6.23% crude protein and 23.05% crude fiber [10]. However, its effective use is limited due to unavailability of little or no useful information on it and the main problem of using cashew nut shell is the high lignocelluse fiber, phenolic compounds and anti-nutrient (Tannin, anthocyanins, prussic acid flavonols etc) [11].…”

A study was conducted using twenty (20) growing West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks with an average weight of 6.74 ± 0.33 kg to determine the nutrient intake and nitrogen balance. The goats were allotted to four dietary treatments with five goats replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design. The raw cashew nut shell was sun-dried and crushed to a particle size of less than 1 cm. The cashew nut shell was incorporated in the diets at the rate of 0% (diet A), 5% (diet B), 10% (diet C) and 15% (diet D) respectively. The experimental period lasted for 63days excluding 2weeks of adaptation. The chemical and mineral compositions of the diets were determined. Result showed that chemical composition were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by the raw cashew nut shell. The crude protein ranged from 7.16 to 7.89% while the crude fiber varied from 22.45 to 24.01%. Calcium and Phosphorus content increased with increased level of raw cashew nut shell. Sodium ranged from 17.47 to 23.00% while magnesium varied from 9.34 to 12.94%. Goats fed diets A had the highest nitrogen balance (8.57 g/day) and highest percentage of nitrogen retention (86.58%) which is statistically similar to the values obtained in goats fed diet B; (8.34 g/day nitrogen balance and 84.58% percentage nitrogen retention). However, dry matter intake recorded in this study were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by the inclusion levels of raw sundried cashew nut shell in the diet. Goats fed diets A had the highest dry matter intake (456.37 g/day) while goats fed diet D had the least (207.69 g/day). Crude protein intake and crude fiber intake increased as the levels of raw cashew nut shell increased in diets. In conclusion, feeding of raw sundried cashew nut shell at 5% could provide good quality replacement ingredient to ruminants especially during the dry season for improved performance and productivity.
