The use of cassava-based feedstuffs seems promising, especially for swine; however, toxic factors must be taken into account when diets are formulated. In Africa, cassava consumption is indicated as one of the factors responsible for the tropical ataxic neuropathy syndrome observed in Nigeria: it...

The effect of methionine supplementation to diets conatining high levels (~ 65%) of cassava meal (CM) were studied with gestating and lactating gilts as well as with growing-finishing pigs. In both experiments, methionine supplementation did not improve (P>.05) the results obtained with the unsup...

Evaluation of methionine supplementation to diets containing cassava meal for swine
This research is a nutritional assessment of a fungal (Aspergillus fumigatus 1-21A) single-cell protein (SCP) that was fed to rats and pigs. The sun-dried biomass resulted from fermentation of either fresh roots or cassava meal substrates and had the following percentage composition: crude protei...

Fungal protein produced on cassava for growing rats and pigs
This report includes data on poultry and swine populations and production for L.A. countries. Possibilities of increasing production, especially swine, is more feasible through the improvement of production efficiency than increasing the animal population. Feed availability is the most important ...

Pigs self-fed diets in which whole cottonseed (including the hulls) replaced one third, two thirds or all the protein supplied by soybean meal gained at a reduced rate and mortality resulted at the highest levels. Iron from ferrous sulfate was ineffective in preventing toxicity because of physica...

Rats fed a corn base diet supplemented with dehulled cottonseed kernels which were boiled in a ferrous sulfate solution for 30 min gained as rapidly and required no more feed per unit of gain than those fed a corn-soybean meal diet. Boiling cottonseed kernels in the absence of ferrous sulfate gre...
