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<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<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>
