Abstract

The Crude Fibre Fractions (CFF) and mineral composition of twenty ‘wastes' were determined using a Completely Randomized Design. Among chaffs, rice milling waste recorded the highest ADF (38.82%) and cellulose (16.04%), while ADF (25.32%) and NDF (18.20%) were lowest in Orange Residue. Maize Cob (1.06%) and Burukutu Waste (1.94%) had the highest Calcium and phosphorus, respectively. Among leaves, Carrot Leaves recorded the highest NDF (30.14%) and hemicellulose (14.08%). Maize Leaves had the highest Ca (1.56%) and lowest lignin (16.15%); lowest NDF (18.96%) in Sweet Potato Leaves and hemicellulose (8.32%) in Cassava Leaves. For peels, Cassava Peels had highest ADF (53.52%), while highest values for NDF (34.23%) was in Irish Potato Peels and highest cellulose (18.02%), Ca (1.79%) and P (1.03%) were in Cabbage Waste (CW). Cellulose (4.02%) was lowest in Orange Peels; Watermelon Peels had the least lignin (14.13%). This study has successfully provided the recent values for Crude Fibre Fractions and mineral compositions (Ca and P) of the selected feedstuffs. From the compositions of these waste, each is uniquely beneficial to ruminants when rightly used thus recommended for ruminants' feeding as the Crude Fibre Fractions and Minerals (Ca and P) are present in adequate and tolerable levels in most of the samples considered in this study.
