Composition of a number of Tropical and Subtropical Feedstuffs.

Abstract

The search for protein rich feedstuffs is a continuous one, particularly in developing areas where there is direct competition f or food between man and animals. This study indicates the nutritive value of certain feed ingredients available in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea by analyzing their crude protein, fat, fibre, dry matter and ash contents. The analyses could assist in the formulation of livestock rations making use of such materials.
