Nutritional Manipulation for Improved Sheep Growth Performance

Nutritional manipulation for improved sheep growth performance is a research study conducted to investigate feeding and nutritional values of cassava bran and fish processing wastes on growth performance characteristics in sheep. The study showed that cassava bran and fish processing waste which hitherto were regarded as waste products from cassava and fish processing can be use in livestock nutrition by using them to produce supplement diets for sheep. The sheep fed the supplement showed higher growth performance compare with sheep on control diet without any negative impacts on the health status and quality of mutton from the sheep.
