INFLUENCE OF PEANUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA) SKIN INCLUSION ON THE PERFORMANCE AND SERUM BIOCHEMICAL INDICES OF WEANERS PIGS
Abstract
The experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance and serum biochemical indices of weaner pigs to diet containing varying levels of peanut skin. A total number of 24 weaner pigs were randomly divided into four treatments of six pigs each using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Each treatment was randomly assigned to one of the four diets treatment ( 1,2,3 and 4) containing 0% (Control), 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% peanut skin for 8 weeks. Data collected indicated there were no significant difference average daily weight gain, final weight, total body weight gain, metabolic weight and FCR among treatment means and there were significant (p
