“…Similarly, the values in the present study were higher than 330 -400 g/d reported by Abebe (2011) for sheep fed urea treated millet stover based diets, and rams of Ukanwoko andIbeawuchi (2009) (310.03, 291.55 and313.42g/d), andYusuf et al (2013) (351.17, 507.06, 536.88 and356.72g/d), 41.9, 45.1, 49.3, 51 It has been observed that daily weight gains in this study were highest in D6, D2 and D5 D3 compared to D4. The higher daily body weight gains of D6, D2, D5 and D3 rams compared to rams in other diets may be attributed to the higher feed and dry matter intake observed in these treatment groups, hence dry matter intake is an important factor in the utilization of feed by ruminants (Jiwuba et al, 2016).…”

Effects of feeding urea ensiled millet stover based diets with concentrates on growth performance and economy of supplementation in growing Yankasa Rams were evaluated. Four kg urea was dissolved in 100 litres of water sprinkled on 100kg of millet stover kept in an airtight, anaerobic condition for 21 days (ensiled) as basal diet, fed ad libitum to thirty Yankasa rams with average initial weights of 16.35 - 18.21 kg replicated 5 times using completely randomized design were allocated to 6 diets; 300g cottonseed cake diet 1, Faidherbia albida diet 2, CSC & maize offal diet 3, FA & maize offal diet 4, CSC & wheat offal diet 5 and FA & wheat offal diet 6, fed twice for 70 days. Findings revealed highest (p<0.05) DM intake (756.09g/d) in diet 6. Rams on diet 2 recorded highest average daily weight gain and FCR (75.81g/d & 7.91) than diet 4 (35.02g/day & 17.94) with least. cost of concentrate diets was lower in diet 6 (₦ 35.82) than diet 1 (₦ 109.83), 2 (₦ 46.79), 3 (₦ 66.71), 4 (₦ 68.77) and 5 (₦ 58.50). Supplementation of urea ensiled millet stover based diet improved growth performance and FCR. However, supplementing Faidherbia albida pod meal at 30% with 4kg urea ensiled millet stover gave the highest ADG and FCR with a concomittant reduction in cost of feed, therefore is recommended for growing Yankasa rams.

“…The crude protein value for the poultry droppings used in this study was observed to be 29.86%. The present value was higher than the values reported by Bello and Tsado (2013), Ukanwoko andIbeawuchi (2009), Owen et al (2008), Aro and Tewe (2007) and Onimisi and Omage (2006) respectively as 21.88%, 26.60%, 20.00%, 21.67%, and 20.30%. However, this value is lower than the value reported by Trevino et al (2002) as 31.6% and Ghaly and MacDonald (2012) as 39-43%, respectively.…”

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.

“…Approximately 80% of Nigeria's population lives in rural areas, where goats play a significant role in their way of life. (Ukanwoko et al, 2009;Ahamefule, 2005). In addition to having a major positive impact on family health and nutrition, the sale of animals and their products helps maintain household finances.…”

For profitability in livestock production, there is a need for reduction in production cost, which is achievable by increasing the forage inclusion in the diet of ruminant animals. A feeding trial was conducted for one hundred and fifteen (115) days to determine the total feed intake, live weight gain, and digestibility coefficient in Red Sokoto bucks fed a basal diet of Panicum maximum hay supplemented with concentrate in the ratio 75:25, 50:50, and 25:75 for treatments 2, 3 and 4, respectively, while bucks in treatment 1 were fed 50:50 ratio of Digitaria smutsi hay and concentrate, all at 3% body weight. The animals were allotted to four dietary treatments with three animals per treatment in a complete randomized design. Feed intake, live weight gain, and digestibility coefficients were determined. The results showed that the growth rate and coefficient of digestibility were significantly higher (P<0.05) in bucks fed 50:50 Panicum maximum and concentrate than all other treatments. It was concluded that bucks fed Panicum maximum hay and concentrate had higher feed intake, digestibility, and better weight gain. Panicum maximum and Concentrate should be fed to growing red Sokoto goats (bucks) for better growth and digestibility.
