“…Metabolizable energy obtained in this study also compared fairly well with 13.73 MJ/Kg documented for white maize (Aduku, 1993). Similar results were obtained by Adeyemi and Familade (2003) when fermented corn cob was used to replace maize in broiler diets and also by Osei and Duodu (1988) in their studies where cassava peels were fermented to replace maize in layers diets.…”

Interest on non-conventional sources of energy in animal feeding has increased in recent time but these new ingredients still await an adequate nutritional evaluation. Milled dried cassava peel and caged layers' manure mixed in ratio 4:1(w/w), fermented for 7 and 14 days separately and screened for microbial load were used to replace maize in weaner rabbit diets designated as A (0% inclusion of the mixture), B (25%), C (50%), D (75%), E (100%) for 7 days fermentation and F (25%), G (50%), H (75%) and I (100%) for 14 days in a 2 × 4 factorial experiment. Fifty-four weaner rabbits, weighing 620 ± 0.23 g at 7 weeks were randomized into 9 treatments of 3 replicates each (one male and one female rabbit per replicate) and fed for 56 days. Fermentation duration significantly increased (p<0.05) crude protein and decreased crude fibre content in the fermented mixture of cassava peel and caged layers' manure (FCPCLM). Weaner rabbits fed diets A, B and F recorded higher (p<0.05) feed intake than others. Body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio were higher (p<0.05) for rabbits fed diets B and F. Packed cell volume, haemoglobin, and red blood cell counts of rabbits on diets A, B and F were higher (p<0.05) than others. Mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were also influenced (p<0.05). Aspartate amino transaminase and alanine amino transaminase activities of rabbits fed diets B and F were similar and decreased (p<0.05) as dietary inclusion of FCPCLM increased. Maize can be optimally replaced at 25% in the diet of weaner rabbits by FCPCLM fermented either at 7 or 14 days without adverse effect on their growth performance.

“…The protein value of 15% recorded after treatment with P. ostreatus strain Em-1 far exceeds the 2.4-3.4% range for untreated maize cob (Adeyemi and Familade, 2003), and is much higher than values reported by Akinfemi et al (2009) following treatment of maize cob with Pleurotus pulmonarius (10.05%) and Pleurotus sajor caju (10.37%). It is important to note that this protein value satisfies the 7-12% maintenance requirement for ruminants (National Research Council, 2000).…”

The low digestibility and low protein content of maize cob are major limitations to its use as animal feed in Ghana. The possibility of enhancing the feed potential of maize cob through solid state fermentation by Pleurotus ostreatus strain EM-1 was investigated. At the end of spawn run, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose content had decreased by 42.3, 5.6% and 41.0% respectively. No further reduction in lignin content occurred thereafter. In contrast, after 28 days, cellulose and hemicellulose had been degraded by 36.0% and 58.5% respectively. A biphasic protein profile, characterized by a 6-fold increase by day 14, followed by a dramatic decline was observed. The rate of release of reducing sugars from spent maize cobs during incubation with exogenous cellulase was 400% greater than that of untreated maize cobs. The present findings indicate that the positive effects of P. ostreatus strain EM-1 on the nutritive value of maize cob appear to be optimal after complete colonization by mycelia. At this stage, maximum biodegradation of lignin had occurred, protein content was markedly elevated and the reduction in cellulose content was negligible. Thus, solid state fermentation by Pleurotus ostreatus strain EM-1 may be an efficient means of transforming maize cob into nutritive animal feed.

“…Because of the high-fiber content in non-fermented corncob, a decreased daily body weight gain was concurrent with an increased level of corncob supplementation, due to its resistance to the pig's digestive enzymes [5]. The present morphometric values indicating no damage might be induced as a result of the fermentation of corncobs using waste JMS after DFG production; the fermentation of corncobs using rumen filtrate enhanced the crude protein value and reduced the crude fiber content [15]. In scanning electron microscopy, the protuberated cells and deeper cells at the sites of recently exfoliated cells were observed in the 50 ppm DFG + 250 ppm FCP and 500 ppm FCP groups.…”

To determine whether dried fermented ginger (DFG), fermented with Japanese mugwort silage juice, could be replaced by fermented corncob powder (FCP) as a of feed ingredient source without significant body weight decrease or damage to visceral organs (using gross anatomical observation), to intestinal villi (using light microscopy), or to the epithelial cells on the villus apical surface (using scanning electron microscopy) the following investigation was performed. Sixty-four male broilers were allotted to 4 groups: a basal diet group (control group), and basal diet groups with DFG at a level of 50 ppm; with DFG at 50 ppm and FCP at 250 ppm (50 ppm DFG + 250 ppm FCP group); and with FCP at a level of 500 ppm (500 ppm FCP group). Feed intake, body weight gain, feed efficiency, carcass quality, small intestinal length and weight, and visceral organ weight were not different among groups. Furthermore, regarding intestinal villus height, villus area and crypt depth, a significant difference was not found among the groups. When these values of the control were expressed as an index of 100, the duodenal villus height of the 50 ppm DFG + 250 ppm FCP group and the 500 ppm FCP group were 114 and 119, respectively. The duodenal villus area of the 50 ppm DFG + 250 ppm FCP group and the 500 ppm FCP group were 125 and 158, respectively. These villus heights and areas are thought to be activated. On the epithelial cells on the villus apical surface in the duodenum and jejunum, the 50 ppm DFG + 250 ppm FCP group had protuberated cells into the intestinal lumen and deeper cells at the sites of recently exfoliated cells, suggesting that these cells are activated. The present results indicate that small amounts of fermented corncob powder can be used as a feed supplement when mixed with fer- 566mented ginger powder, due to the synergy between the two ingredients, resulting in a 6% increase in body weight gain.
