Seral, Haemotological and Economies of Production of Weaner Pigs Fed Graded Levels of Biodegraded Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Peels

Abstract

20 weaners pigs weighing 9.2k0.43 were assigned in a completey randomized design to 5 treatments,
using graded levels of biodegraded cassava peels to replace cassava flour. Each treatment had 4
replicates of one weaner pig per replicate. Seral and haematological parameters were determined at
the end of the 4" and gth weeks of feeding. At the end of the 8th week, several biochemical parameters
carried out revealed no significant differences among treatments in the levels of serum alkaline
phosphatase (SALP), aspartate amino transferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT), urea,
albumin, and glucose, while haematological indices estimated were found to be significantly varied
with the excepton of mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) aizd white blood cells
(WBC), Economic analysis of the inclusion of biodegraded cassava peels in the diets of weaner pigs
was determined.
