Subtitutional Value Of Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena Celostoides) For Concentrate In Weaner Rabbits' Diet
ABSTRACT
Protein is an essential nutrient in the diet of all living
organisms. They are needed for various metabolic activities in the body. An
average Nigerian consumes only about a quarter of his minimum daily animal
protein requirement (Ironkwe, 2004). in a developing country like Nigeria, this
has been attributed to inadequate supply of animal protein sources and as such
animal Protein consumption is below average. This could also be attributed to
the low level of animal production arising from over concentration on few
species of animal (poultry) and the high cost of conventional feedstuffs
(Akinmutimi et al., 2002). This has made feed cost to constitute about 70%
total cost of production (Ezea, 2004). This problem has been the prime
stimulants for the continuous search for alternative feedstuffs that can meet
the nutritional requirements of micro-livestock, reduce the cost of feed and
animal production (Olorede and Longe, 2000). Such a feedstuff should be one
that has very low human food preference and of low industrial usage (Olorede
and Longe, 2000). Rabbit production could bridge the supply-demand jrotei
