Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: A feeding trial was carried out for 60 days with 40 growing West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks aged 5 - 7 months with an initial weight of 5.25 kg±0.35 to determine their nutrient intake. The goats were randomly allocated to five treatments, each treatment had eight replicates. Five diets were compounded CPU (100% urea treated cassava peel). CPF (60% untreated cassava peel, 40% cassava foliage), CPM (60% untreated cassava peel, 40% poultry manure), CPUF (60% untreated cassava peel, 20% cassava foliage and 20% treated cassava peel).CPFM (60% untreated cassava peel, 20% cassava foliage, 20% poultry manure). Result obtained indicated that nutrient intake significantly (P
