Résumé

A ninety days feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of feeding different Agro- industrial byproducts at at an inclusion level of 30% feed on the growth performance and serum biochemical parameters of West African dwarf (WAD) goats. Twelve WAD goats were used for the experiment, using Panicum maximum as the basal diet. The experiment had four treatments with three animals per treatment. The total body weight gain of the animals were significantly (P˂0.05) higher than the control. Average daily feed intake was not significantly different (P˃0.05) but higher in the control group . Serum parameters such as
Albumin, globulin, globulin, Glucose and Aspartate amino transferase were also significantly (P˂0.05) different. The inclusion of 30% of Agro-industrial by-products improved performance characteristics and serum biochemical parameters of WAD goats.
