PY - 2024/07/08 Y2 - 2026/09/25 TI - NUTRIENT CONTENT ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SOYBEAN FORAGE AS SUPPLEMENTAL ANIMAL FEED IN SEMI-ARID NIGERIA JF - Nigerian Journal of Animal Production JA - NJAP VL - IS - SE - Articles DO - 10.51791/njap.vi.4996 UR - https://mail.njap.org.ng/index.php/njap/article/view/4996 SP - 592 - 595 AB - <p><span class="fontstyle0">Forages from seven different varieties of soybean were collected from the research farm of the<br>International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Minjibir, Kano Station to study the nutritional<br>content of these forages. The result revealed that the CP, CF, EE, ADF, NDF and ash contents were<br>significantly (P&lt;0.05) different in the forages from the different soybean varieties whereas the content<br>of DM was similar among the varieties. Macro (Ca, Mg, K and Na) and micro (Fe) nutrients with the<br>exception of P, analyzed in these forages were significantly (P&lt;0.05) lower in all the soybean<br>varieties. It was concluded that adequate mineral supplementation is essential when soybean forages<br>are used as feed resources for livestock and thus, recommended that further research should be carried<br>out to determine minerals that are deficient in other crop residues</span> </p> ER -
