Abstract

This study investigated the cyanide and some macro nutrient contents of Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass cultured in cassava mill effluents. The S. cerevisiae biomass produced was filtered and washed with distilled water and then re-filtered. The resultant sludge/biomass recovered were oven dried. The cyanide and macro nutrient contents were analyzed. The results of the macro nutrients were 331.67 mg/kg (Calcium), 679.30 mg/kg (Magnesium), 22075.30mg/kg (Potassium) and 215.04mg/kg (Sodium). The cyanide content was 0.055mg/100g, being lower than dietary cyanide limits for animal feed. The cyanide and macro nutrient suggests potential suitability of S. cerevisiae biomass cultured in cassava mill effluents for animal feed
