Abstract:

Twelve lactating Red Sokoto Goats in their first parity were used to determine the effect of replacing cassava peel meal with discarded Tiger nut meal (DTNM) on milk yield and composition. The experimental design was CRD. Cassava peel meal was replaced at the levels of 0, 30 and 60%. Each treatment was replicated four times. Parameters measured were DM intake and milk yield. The results shows that DM intake was significantly (P<0.05) higher for goats on treatment 2 (30% DTNM). The mean daily milk yield of goats in treatment 1 and 2 were not significantly (P>0.05) different. The butter concentration increased significantly (P<0.05) with the inclusion of DTNM. It was concluded that discarded tiger nut meal may have great potential for the dairy goat industry.
