“…The starch of YAM, which is characterised by large granules like potato starch, was less susceptible to α‐amylase and promoted lower microbial proteosynthesis in vitro , and was more slowly degraded in a diet with a starch digestibility of 830 g kg −1 DM 23. This contrasted with our findings since YAM showed the highest c and ED (Table 2).…”

BACKGROUND: The in situ technique (IS) is used for characterising, screening and evaluating feedstuffs in ruminants. However, it is often not adapted to the particular characteristics of feeds (i.e. kinetics of starchy feeds with a standard framework used in forage). This may lead to potential biases in the final conclusions. In two successive experiments, we evaluated the degradative characteristics of conventional (CON) and unconventional (UNC) starchy feedstuffs (ING) and factors affecting their washable fractions (WF). The suitability of IS was then assessed.

“…In Cuba19, 20 it was evaluated for sheep and broiler nutrition, respectively; while in Thailand21 and Nigeria22 there are reports of its use in goats. The 55.6 g of CP kg DM −1 found in our study is similar to the value of 59 reported23 whereas our crude fat was half their value and the starch content slightly lower.…”

“…Nutrient composition of cassava and breadfruit flours used in the diets is similar value to that reported earlier by Gohl (1981), Graham and de Bravo (1981), Udo (1981), Aregheore (1988), Ravindran and Sivakanesan (1995) and Susumu (1999). The composition of the forage is similar to values reported by Solomona (1988) and Aregheore (1999).…”

“…The fruit can be processed into livestock feed. It has eighty percent starch (Graham and de Bravo, 1981) and the available carbohydrate content is similar to that of maize (Ravindran and Sivakanesan, 1995). On the other hand, cassava is typically a high energy, low protein, mineral-vitamin feed (Agudu and Thomas, 1982).…”

In a completely randomized design experiment, the nutritive value of breadfruit and cassava flours was compared using 12 growing goats, 18-20 months old, with a pre-experimental body weight of 21.1 ±0.22 kg in an experiment lasting 56 days. Voluntary feed intake, liveweight and apparent digestibility of nutrients were measured. Voluntary feed intake (concentrate + forage) did not differ (P>0.05) among the goats fed the two carbohydrate sources. Daily liveweight gain was higher (PO.05) in goats fed the breadfruit flour concentrate. Dry matter digestibility was better (PO.05) in goats on the breadfruit diet. However, the digestibilities of crude protein and total digestible nutrients were similar in both breadfruit and cassava flour diets. Crude fibre and ether extract were better (PO.05) digested in goats on the cassava flour diet, however, nitrogen-free extracts and metabolisable energy were higher (PO.05) in goats on the breadfruit flour diet. The growth rate, voluntary feed intake and apparent nutrient digestibility coefficients of the goats demonstrated that breadfruit is also a good source of energy and carbohydrate compared with cassava. It is therefore recommended that the fruits of breadfruit could be processed and fed to goats and other ruminant livestock. However, breadfruit's importance in human nutrition may restrict its use in Pacific Island countries as a carbohydrate and energy source in livestock nutrition.

“…Chicks were allocated to 12 groups of equal initial weight and then each dietary treatment was assigned to three groups of chicks at random. The methodology and conduct of the assay have been described previously (Ravindran and Sivakanesan 1995). Test ingredient" -Raw, mango seed kernel/water-soaked mango seed kernel/ boiled, mango seed kernel.…”
