Extract

Cassava root meal is a fine powder from the manufacture of chips and/or starch. Their disposal increases otherwise environmental pollution and health hazards. Nevertheless, ruminants can be fed on cassava tuberous roots, foliage, peel and residue obtained after processing cassava including cassava meal. Evidence so far shows that cassava meal is good source of energy which, when fortified, promote positive and high performance in cattle, sheep and goats. Cassava meal contains high level of energy and has been used as readily fermentable energy in the rations. However, the lack of nitrogen supplied from cassava meal that it is important to include nitrogen sources to balance the energy-nitrogen supply for the microbial activities in the rumen. The objective of this experiment was developing the new products from cassava meal namely, CASMEREA (cassava meal + urea) or commonly name “starea” or “casarea”.
