| dc.description.abstract | In the tropic there is seasonal variation in the quality and quantity of forage which affects the highest ash content (17.20%) while the SNC recorded highest concentration of crude fiber. chain fatty acids (SCFA) were estimated. Proximate composition of the AIBs showed that from 12.00ml/200mgDM to 27.67ml/200mgDM in rice bran and corn bran, respectively. The conducted to investigate the in vitro gas fermentation and its characteristics on selected incubation with the introduction of 10ml NaOH into the syringes. The invitro fermentation sustainability of all year round ruminant production. There is need to source for cheaper and bran (CB), soybean cheese waste (SBCW), shea nut cake (SNC) and Rice bran (RB) were The SNC and SBCW had similar ether extract (EE) content. Gas volume statistically varied from 2.5 to 5.5mLs in rice bran and corn bran, respectively. The calculated values of ME, readily available feed to supply the nutrients required by the animals. Hence, this study was Methane (ml/200mgDM) production of the AIBs was measured at the termination of the crude protein (CP) ranged from 13.80% in RB to 30.12% in SBCW. Rice bran also had the SCFAand OMD were highest in SBCW. Overall, higher nutritive values found in the agro-industrial -products (AIBs) as alternative feed resources for ruminant animals. Corn individual AIBs evaluated suggest that they are good alternative feed resources and when by incubated for 24hrs. The cumulative gas volume at the end of incubation was measured. CB produced highest values of the fermentation characteristics. Methane production ranged combined in the right proportion would sustain and improve ruminant productivity during characteristic, metabolizable energy (ME), organic matter digestibility (OMD) and short the dry season. | |
