Digestibility and Carcass Characteristics of West African Dwarf Goats fed Pleurotus tuber regium Biodegraded Ground Nut Shells Included Diets.

Dauda A

A total of twenty (20) West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks having an
average weight of 6.5 kg were used to study their nutrient
digestibility and carcass characteristics. The animals were allotted
to five treatment group four animals each randomly. The
treatment diets contained varying levels of un-degraded ground
nutshells (UGNS) and Pleurotus tuber regium biodegraded Ground
Nut Shells (PT-GNS) in a Completely Randomized Design (T1=100%
UGN; T2=75% UGN+25% PT-GNS; T3=50% UGN+50% PT-GNS;
T4=25% UGN+75% PT-GNS; and T5=100% PT-GNS). Eachanimal
served as a replicate. Feed and water were provided ad libitum.
