NUTRITIONAL ASPECT OF TAPIOCA PEEL FOR LIVESTOCK FEED AS INFLUENCED BY VARIETIES AND FERTILIZER APPLICATION

Abstract

in Tapioca, peel constituting about one-sixth of the whole tuber yielded 3.8 to 6.7 t/ha. Variety H 165 had higher HCN content (160 ppm) than Burma variety (464 ppm). The high HCN content could be detoxified by sun drying the material and could be used safely. The mean crude protein, P and Ca contents were 11.03, 0.18 and 1.11 per cent rospectively which is comparable to that of cereal fodders. [Among the micronutrients Fe was present at higher concentration followed by Zn Mn and Cu. So tapicos peel which is a nutritious fodder can be fed to the cattle safely after detoxification by drying in sun.
