  5. 4. Effects of fresh or sun-dried cassava foliage on the growth performance of goats fed basal diets of gamba grass or sugar cane stalk

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Bounthavone Kounnavongsa; [2010]
    Keywords : cassava foliage; gamba grass; goats; growth; sugar cane;

    Abstract : The overall aims of this thesis were to study existing goat production systems in lowland Laos, to investigate the potential to intensify goat production by using locally available feed resources, such as sugar cane, as the basal diet, and supplementing with fresh and sun-dried cassava foliage as the major protein source in view of the lack of information concerning the risk of toxicity from feeding the fresh cassava foliage. Sixty goat farmers in four villages of Nongbok and Xe bangfai Districts in Khammuane Province were selected, and formal and informal interviews were used to get information about goat production systems.
