Effect of feeding Fish Pond Wastewater Fermented Sawdust diets on the performance of Red Sokoto Bucks
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of feeding Red Sokoto bucks in an intensive management system with fermented and unfermented sawdusts derived from fish pond wastewater and compared its effects on goats. The research focused on evaluating the proximate composition, mineral analysis, growth performance, and nutrient efficiency of the bucks under different dietary treatments and lasted for nine weeks. Dietary treatments (T1, T2, and T3) were administered to 486 bucks, weighing between 12 to 14 kg, with each treatment replicated six times. T1 contained 40% untreated sawdust, T2 had 40% treated sawdust, and T3 included 70% treated sawdust. The study assessed the proximate composition, mineral analysis, and nutrient efficiencies of these sawdusts as well as the growth performance of goats fed these materials. Data were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance, revealing significant differences (p<0.05; p<0.01) among the treatments. Mineral analysis confirmed safe levels for all dietary treatments. Notably, bucks fed with diet two (40% treated sawdust) outperformed other groups (p<0.05). This study suggests that incorporating 40% fish pond wastewater effluent-treated sawdust in Red Sokoto buck diets can optimize performance while effectively managing organic solid waste and fish pond effluents. This approach enhances the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of ruminant feeds, promoting sustainability and resource utilization in livestock farming.
