“…The increased levels of total cholesterol values in the rams fed concentrate mix is also in consonant with the results of other authors who recorded higher cholesterol in serum biochemistry of sheep fed concentrate diets compared with those on sole fodder diets [46][47][48]. However, the cholesterol levels were within normal limits which imply that meat from the experimental animals would not cause cholesterol elevation in consumers [49].…”

“…These values are however within the value range reported by Oni et al [19] AST values ranged between 138.75 (T1) to 176.50 (T2), with T2 having significantly (P < 0.05) higher value. The values of total protein, albumin, globulin, and urea obtained in this study agree with the report of Bawala et al [25] There were no signs of physiological stress on the animals in the experimental groups as the obtained values of blood urea were comparable with the values obtained by Oloche et al [28]…”

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted with 40 growing West African Dwarf bucks aged 5-7 months with an initial average weight of 5.25 kg ± 0.35 to determine their hematological and serum biochemical parameters. The goats were randomly allocated to five treatments namely: T1 (100% urea-treated cassava peel), T2 (60% untreated cassava peel + 40% cassava foliage), T3 (60% untreated cassava peel + 40% poultry manure), T4 (60% untreated cassava peel + 20% cassava foliage + 20% treated cassava peel), and T5 (60% untreated cassava peel + 20% cassava foliage + 20% poultry manure) in a complete randomized design. Each treatment was split into eight replicates. At the end of the feeding trial, blood samples were collected from four goats per treatment to evaluate the following hematological indices: packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and MCH concentration (MCHC). Serum parameters determined were total protein (g/dL), albumin (g/dL), globulin (g/dL), creatinine (mg/dL), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (iu/L), alanine transaminase (ALT) (iu/L), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (iu/L), and urea (iu/L). PCV, RBC and WBC showed significant (P<0.05) difference among the treatment groups while other haematological parameters examined showed no significant differences (P>0.05). Serum biochemical parameters indicated that total protein ranged from 4.

“…The mean feed intake values were between 500.78 -553.12 g/day, and these values were similar, meaning that the presence of the WSSOPM in the diets did not depress feed intake and that the diets containing the test ingredients were all accepted by the goats. Observed values were higher than 334.94 -365.97g/day reported by Sanwo (2011) for goats fed melon husk and palm oil slurry at 30% inclusion level, but comparable with 525.14 -546.26 g/day reported by (Oloche ., 2013) for WAD goats fed diets containing graded levels sweet orange peel meal. The mean daily weight gain of the goats ranged between 28.98-36.04g/day.…”

“…The peels of these sweet oranges can easily be collected at minimal or no cost from sweet orange fruit retailers who peel and sell sweet orange fruits to consumers. Untreated sweet orange peel meal has been used in the diets of West African dwarf goats at up to 50% levels without adverse effects (Oloche ., 2013). Sweet orange peels contain anti-nutrients like tannin, saponin, oxalate, limonene, flavonoid and phenols (Oluremi 2007).…”

A total of sixteen West African grower bucks of about 7-10 months were used in a completely randomised design to assess the effect of feeding diets with high levels of water soaked sweet orange peel meal (WSSOPM) on the performance response and blood profile of West African dwarf goats. Collected sweet orange peels were soaked in water and drained after 24 hours. The peels were then sun-dried on concrete floors for 48hour and afterwards crushed into a meal using a feed milling machine. The WSSOPM was used to compound four(4) experimental diets containing 0%, 60%, 80% and 100% WSSOPM, these were designated treatment T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively. Each treatment had four (4) replicate. The study lasted for 11weeks. Results showed that, the mean daily feed intake, mean daily weight gain and the feed conversion ratio of the goats did not show treatment effect (P>0.05) among the treatments. The cost analysis showed that profitability increased with increasing levels of WSSOPM in the diets. The blood parameters measured did not show treatment effect, except the albumin values in which T2 (3.53g/dL) was higher than T1 (2.80 g/dL), T3 (2.68 g/dL) and T4(2.55 g/dL).The mineral indices measured showed variations (P<0.05) in only potassium values, treatment effect was not apparent on the serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and zinc values. Water soaked sweet orange peel meal can be used to replace maize offal at 60%, 80% and 100 % in the diets of West African dwarf goats without negatively affecting both performance and blood indices.
