“…Apart from the challenge that cassava root begins to spoil from 2 days after harvest due to physiological changes and microbial activity, unless kept under special storage condition [36], fresh cassava peel (M. esculenta Crantz) contains phytates and large quantities of toxic cyanogenic glycosides [37]. Feeding of fresh cassava roots may lead to cyanide toxicity, depending on the cyanide content in the roots, and thus should be processed in order to reduce cyanogenic and phytate contents [38] before being used as feed for poultry.…”

The continuous increase in cost of conventional energy sources caused by inadequate supply and stiff competition between human, animals and various industries for many decades has resulted to the need to source for suitable, readily available and cheap energy sources for poultry production globally. One such alternative is cassava. A native to South America, cassava is now found in abundance in most tropical countries. Due to lack of excellent post-harvest technologies, large quantities of cassava are wasted. An increased use of cassava in poultry feeding will go a long way to reduce this wastage and also reduce the high cost of poultry feed. However, the utilisation of cassava in poultry nutrition has been hindered by its lower nutritional value, especially protein and amino acids, presence of some ANF and dustiness when poultry feed is produced with cassava meal. Traditional processing methods have only succeeded in taking the inclusion level of cassava to 40% in some poultry diets. Researchers and poultry nutritionists have become interested in developing multi-pronged technologies and processing methods to increase cassava utilisation in poultry nutrition to reduce wastage, improve its nutritional value and maximise production. This chapter highlights the application of different technologies and the importance of biotechnology in improving the quality of cassava and increasing its utilisation for poultry feeding.

“…Santos et al (2015) using cassava peel acquired from the starch industry for lactating cows, verified linear decrease on the intake and digestibility of DM, due to increase in the NDF and ADF contents in the rations. However, there are few studies with cassava peel obtained from Family Farming.…”

“…In some studies, such as Santos et al (2015), although the similar content of NDF in the diets (430-490 g/kg DM), the cassava peel was acquired from the flour industry, and this residues generally are composed by higher fiber content, which could explain linear decrease on the intake and digestibility of dry matter. In the same way, Menezes et al (2004) verified that the replacement of corn with cassava peel promoted decrease in the nutrient intake in goats, attributed to the high NDF content (549-610 g/kg DM) in the diets, associating this fact to lowest passing rate of the NDF in relation to the others dietary constituents, promoting rumen-reticulum filling.…”

“…In the most of works carried out with cassava peel, the waste is coming from cassava industrialization for flour production (Santos et al, 2015;Prado et al, 2006;Marques et al, 2000), and the residues (cassava peels) obtained mechanically are characterized by high fiber content (Baah et al, 2011;Caldas Neto et al, 2000;Baah et al, 1999), varying between 33 and 50% of NDF, in a function of a better processing efficiency for peel removal. Santos et al (2015) using cassava peel acquired from the starch industry for lactating cows, verified linear decrease on the intake and digestibility of DM, due to increase in the NDF and ADF contents in the rations.…”

“…Howeverthe low use of cassava silage in animal feed is related to the lack of knowledge of its nutritional levels and the actual potential of crop residues for use in the feeding and production of ruminants (Silva et al, 2015a;Polyorach et al, 2016). In addition the use of cassava silage is limited by its low dry matter (DM) content (220-250 g/kg) which causes difficulties in fermenting the silage (Santos et al 2015). Another important factor relevant to the ensiling process is the high crude protein (CP) content of cassava (205 g/kg DM) which can lead to a buffering effect that hinders the reduction of the pH to levels optimal for silage fermentation (Fernandes et al, 2016;Ampapon et al, 2016).…”

A B S T R A C TThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects adding tamarind residue to cassava silage on the quality of the silage and its in vitro ruminal fermentation, as well as the growth performance and carcass quality of lambs. A completely randomized design with four inclusion levels (0.00, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg) of tamarind residue (Tamarindus indica L.) added to cassava silage was used. Twenty mini-silos were used to prepare samples of the four treatments (five replicates each), which were opened after 56 days. Forty male lambs were fed cassava silage with added tamarind residue as the roughage and a concentrate (500:500 g/kg of feed) over 85 days. There was no effect of the tamarind residue-added cassava silage on effluent losses and dry matter (DM) recovery rates. However, there were linear and quadratic reductions in pH (P < 0.001) and the crude protein (CP) (P < 0.001), ether extract (EE) (P < 0.001) and ash (P < 0.001) contents and linear and quadratic increases in the DM, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (P < 0.001), acid detergent fiber (ADF) (P < 0.001), non-fibrous carbohydrate (NFC) (P < 0.001), acid detergent lignin (ADL) (P < 0.001), and tannin (P < 0.001) contents. There was a linear increase in the maximum potential gas production from total carbohydrates and the gas production rate from NFCs (P < 0.001). The production rate of total gases (P < 0.001), lag phase duration (P < 0.001) and DM in vitro degradability (P < 0.001) were all reduced with the addition of tamarind residue in silage. There was no effect of the tamarind residue-added cassava silage on DM, CP, NFC or total digestible nutrient (TDN) intakes (g/d). However, there was a linear increase in the NDF intake (P = 0.042) and a linear reduction in the EE (P = 0.038) intake by lambs. There was an increase in the DM (P < 0.001), CP (P < 0.001), and NDF (P < 0.001) contents. There was linear effect on the DM (P < 0.001), CP (P < 0.001), and NDF (P < 0.001) contents and a positive quadratic on EE (P = 0.018) digestibility.
