were used to investigate the effect of feeding different protein sources;
Groundnut Cake (GNC), Soyabean Meal (SBM) and Blood Meal (BM) supplemented
with different levels of fish meal (0 and 1%) on the performance of growing
grasscutters. There was no significant effect (p>0.05) of the treatments
on feed intake, weight gain and feed to gain ratio. Thought it seemed
that blood meal diets had the highest feed intake and weight gain but
soyabean meal diets had the best feed to gain ratio. The digestibility
trial also showed no significant differences (p>0.05) for all parameters
assessed but the soyabean meal diets and 1% fishmeal supplemented diets
seemed to have higher digestibility values.]]>Adeniji, A.A. and O. Ilesanmi,20042004Agboola, P.O.,20002000Ajayi, S.S.,19751st Edn.,AOAC.,198011th Edn.,Asibey, E.O.A. and K.K.
