Cassava peels as feed resource for animal production – A review

ABSTRACT

Feed constitutes about 70-80% of the total cost of production in any animal enterprise. As a result of the foregoing, non conventional feedstuffs are being beckoned on for inclusion as substitutes for expensive conventional feed stuff like maize. This trend has necessitated the urgent need to explore the use of cassava peels; that have constituted environmental hazard, as feed resource for animal production. Despite its content of lethal hydrogen cyanide, various treatments can be used to reduce it to a tolerable level after which it serves as energy source in animal feed. Therefore, this paper has highlighted the different treatment options that could be used to reduce cassava peels’ cyanide to a tolerable level and concomitantly enhanced the nutritive value ready for use as veritable feed resource for animal feed compounding.
