“…Obua et al (2012) also reported higher crude fibre of (21.69%) and ash (9.79%) probably due to soil type, stage of growth and season of the year. The values obtained for crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, moisture content, ash and metabolizable energy fell within the ranges obtained by previous studies (Aduku, 1993;Ikhimioya and Olagunju 1996;Tewe, 1997;Bamigboye and Oluwarinde, 2017). The feed intake of the finisher broiler chickens improved significantly (P < 0.05) as the level of Calopogonium mucunoides leaf meal supplemented with yeast increased in their diets (Table 3).…”

A total of 150 four-week-old Anak finisher broiler chickens were used to determine the growth performance and haematological indices of broiler finisher chickens fed diets containing Calopogonium mucunoides leaf meal supplemented with yeast. They were randomly grouped into 5 treatments with each consisting of 30 broiler chickens. Each treatment group was replicated thrice with equal number of birds (10) per replicate. Five experimental diets were formulated; control diet contained basal diet and soyabean meal which was quantitatively replaced with sun dried Calapogonium mucunoide leaf meal supplemented with yeast at 10, 15, 20 and 25% in other diets. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The blood of the experimental birds was collected and analysed for packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), Haemoglobin Concentration (Hb), Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Cell Volume (MCV) at the end of 4 weeks. Data obtained were subjected to one way analysis of variance. The results of the study showed that inclusion of yeast significantly (P < 0.05) influenced the feed intake, final liveweight gain, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, red blood cells (RBC) and MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin) of the finisher broiler chicken. All parameters tended to improve with increased dietary level of Calopogonium mucunoides leaf meal supplemented with yeast in diets of broiler finisher chickens. Calopogonium mucunoides leaf meal supplemented with yeast did not significantly (P > 0.05) influence PCV (Packed Cell Volume), HBg/dl, WBC (White Blood Cells) and MCHC. It was concluded in this study that Calopogonium mucunoides leaf meal supplemented with yeast could be included at 25% to improve body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and red blood cell of finisher broiler chickens.

“…The NRC (National Research Council) suggests that a modest range of 11.0%-14.0% crude protein is recommended for ruminant production. In line with this, Devendra and McLeroy (1982) noted that 11.0% crude protein is considered ideal for achieving normal weight gain in goats, as reported by Bamigboye et al (2013). To overcome the issue of low crude protein in OPF, one strategy is to utilise the upper one-third portion of the OPF, which contains more leaflets.…”

The impact of providing various types of fodders as the primary green feed for Katjang goats was assessed.Twelve male Katjang goats were divided into three groups and randomly assigned to three experimental diets:(1) oil palm frond ad libitum (OP); (2) undergrowth ad libitum (NU); and (3) Napier grass ad libitum (NG). The results of this study indicated that the daily fresh intake of green roughage was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the undergrowth treatment group than in the OPF and Napier grass treatment groups.However, feeding green roughage from OPF is equivalent to increasing the body weight of goats compared to using undergrowth and Napier grass. OPF is the most considered because it is more cost-effective than Napier grass, which must be planted and maintained. Furthermore, OPF is a by-product of oil palm cultivation, whereas undergrowth is limited in oil palm areas. Therefore, OPF is recommended for use as green roughage feed for Katjang goat farming in oil palm agriculture.

“…These animals are exposed to numerous constraints, characterized by poor housing and poor nutrition, high incidence of diseases, poor breeding methods, among others (Sanusi et al, 2010). The direct competition with man and industries for feed resources as well as the inadequacy of year round feed availability, mainly because of the seasonal fluctuation leading to wide fluctuations in the quantity and quality of forage available to animals has being a major limiting factor in sheep production (Bamigboye et al, 2013).…”

<p>The use of cassava foliage in Nigeria as a low cost supplemental nitrogen to crop residues generally characterized by low nutrient levels has assisted microbial protein synthesis in the rumen of ruminant animals. The effects of the supplementation of groundnut haulms (GH) with graded levels of cassava foliage (CFL) at 0, 10, 20 and 30% on the performance of the West African dwarf (WAD) breed of sheep with average body weight of 13.20 ± 0.34kg were evaluated in a complete randomized design in a 90 day experiment. Data were obtained on feed intake, weight gain, digestibility and haematological parameters.<strong> </strong>Results showed that CFL supplementation of GH had a positive effect (P<0.05) on dry matter (DM) intake and weight gain of sheep. Sheep supplemented with 20% CFL showed better DM intake (455.74g/day), weight gain (45.24g/day) and feed conversion ratio (9.96). Digestibility values for dry matter and crude protein increased (P<0.05) with an increase with the inclusion levels of CFL in the diets but similar values observed in 20 and 30% CFL supplemental diets. Higher (P<0.05) values were observed in packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration and red blood cell counts of sheep supplemented with graded levels of CFL. It was however concluded that the supplementation of groundnut haulms with cassava foliage offered sheep a better plane of nutrition, thereby supporting higher growth rates with sheep supplemented with 20% CFL inclusion levels having the best feed intake, digestibility and weight gain.</p>
