Extract

In view of severe constraints of high cost and sometimes, outright scarcity of maize (the conventional energy source) for pig feeding, the use of some agro-industrial by-products (AIBPs), such as cassava peel is inevitable (Adesehinwa, 2007). However, the fibrous nature of most of the AIBPs has been reported to be a major limitation to their utilisation by pigs (Longe & Fagbenro-Byron, 1990). It has become imperative to incorporate exogenous enzyme(s) into pig diets containing AIBPs, in order to enhance its efficient utilisation by bringing about the breakdown of the limiting non-starch polysaccarides (NSPs) (Ani & Omeje, 2007). It was therefore the aim of this study to determine the effect of the total replacement of maize with cassava peel, supplemented with or without Farmazyme® 3000 Proenx on diet quality, as well as, growth performance, efficiency of feed conversion, some carcass traits and haematological indices of the growing pigs.
