1. MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF DRY CASSAVA PEEL USED IN THE PREPARATION OF PIG FEEDS
Abstract
This study was carried out on the microbiological analysis of dry cassava peel used in the preparation of pigs feed. Since the nutritional compositions of the peels were tremendously improved, it follows that other non conventional feed ingredients which are re...
