Abstract

  The need to use alternative non-toxic ruminant feed sources that are viable, available, cheap, rich in protein and not in direct competition with man cannot be overemphasized. A total of sixteen male growing West African dwarf (WAD) goats of about 5 - 7 months of age weighing between 5.25 - 8.45 were used to evaluate the performance and blood characteristics of WAD goats fed Soybean milk chaff meal (SMCM) in a completely randomised design for a period of 77 days. The collected SMCM was immediately sun-dried for about three days, thereafter; the crumbs were crushed into a meal. Four diets were formulated and compounded to contained 0%, 30%, 60% and 90% SMCM respectively. Results showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatments in total weight gain, mean daily weight gain and total concentrate intake. The haematological indices showed significant differences (P < 0.05) among the treatment means only in haemoglobins (10.55 - 12.53 x 1012/l) and white blood cells (11.98 - 19, 39 x 109/l) values, while rest parameters were similar (P > 0.05) across the treatments. Apart from the albumin, globulin, creatinine, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol, all the other serum biochemical parameters showed significant differences (P < 0.05) among their treatment means. The study showed that soybean milk chaff can be incorporated in the diets of WAD goats up to 90% level without toxic effects on the serum profile of the goat.
