This study was conducted to estimate the water intake of konkan kanyal goats fed finger millet straw supplemented with varying levels of dried poultry droppings based diet. Thirty konkan kanyal goats aged above 12 months weighing 14.00-14.67 kg were used in a randomized block design (RBD) experiment. The experimental goats were randomly assigned to five treatments (TI-T5). T1 were goats fed with 0% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T2 were fed with 20% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T3 were fed with 40% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T4 were fed with 60% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD), T5 were fed with 80% dried poultry droppings based diets (DPDBD. Water was offered at 5L goats -1 daily. Water and feed refusal were recorded on a daily basis before feeding in the morning. Feed and feaces samples were analyzed for proximate constituents. Live weight changes were also measured. The results revealed that treatment groups supplemented with dried poultry droppings based diets had superior water intake compared to the control group. Daily water intake of the experimental goats was 1.4, 2.2, 3.5, 2.7, and 1.7 L head -1 , respectively. Konkan kanyal goats fed finger millet straw supplemented with varying levels of dried poultry dropping based diets requires up to 3.5L of water head -1 day -1 for optimum utilization of the feed.

“…The values of WBC are slightly higher than those reported by WAD bucks (Kalio et al, 2014) but within the normal range (4 -13 x 103 /μL) for healthy goats (Aiello, 2000). This condition exhibited by the WAD Does revealed that there were no microbial infections or presence of foreign bodies or parasites in the circulatory system of the experimental animals (Bello and Tsado, 2014) which further indicates that the feeding of the crop by-products do not affect the immune system of the WAD Does (Etim, 2015). Similarly, the lymphocyte for the WAD Does were significantly (P < 0.05) different.…”

This study was conducted to investigate the performance and haemato-biochemical parameters of WAD Does fed crop by-products: Yam peels(T1YP) Cassava peels (T2CP), Sweet potato peels (T3SPP) and Ripe plantain peels (T4RRP) in humid tropical Cross Rivers State of Nigeria. Sixteen (16) Consequently, the utilization of crop by-products used in this study has no deleterious effects on the nutritional and health conditions of the WAD Does and is recommended for use in goat production systems.

An experiment was conducted to determine the optimum inclusion levels of dried broiler litter (DBL) as a substitute for cottonseed cake (CSC) in fattening diets for Brangus steers. Thirty Brangus steers were randomly allocated to five groups of six animals each. Each group was fed one of the experimental diets which had CSC substituted for DBL at levels of 0 (DBL0), 50 (DBL50), 100 (DBL100), 150 (DBL150) and 200 g/kg (DBL200). Average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake and live weight gain (LWG) were measured over a period of 90 days, and the results were analysed using the MIXED procedures of SAS. Linear and quadratic effects of DBL inclusion on dry matter intake, LWG and ADG were also determined. Results showed interactions between diet and time that significantly affected ADG and LWG (p < 0.05). Both ADG and LWG decreased with increases in DBL inclusion with the depressed performance becoming more pronounced with time. Linear and non-linear decreases in LWG and ADG, respectively, were observed with increasing levels of DBL. The DBL50 diet resulted in performance that was similar to DBL50 and was 4% cheaper. Broiler litter can be used as a supplement for conventional protein sources, but at higher inclusion levels, it needs to be augmented by increased fermentable energy.
