Highlights
The study aims to assess on bred grasscutter (Thryonomys swinderianus) fed with three type of pellets, the growth performances
Study site:-The experiment was conducted in a grasscutter place of rearing of Non-Conventional Animal Species Breeding SubProgramm (S-PEEANC) of Zootechnical Veterinary and Halieutic Research Laboratory (LRZVH) in Agricultural Research Centre of Agonkanmey (CRA-Agonkanmey) in National Institute of Agricultural Research of Benin (INRAB) located in Commune of Abomey-Calavi.The climate is type Guinean, with two dry seasons and two rainy seasons
The results show that average daily gain is (10.41 ± 0.24 g/day ) in grasscutters fed with the pellet 1, (5.92 ± 1.06 g/day) for grasscutters fed with pellet 2 and 8.39 ± 0.73 g/day in the grasscutters fed with pellet 3
Summary
The study aims to assess on bred grasscutter (Thryonomys swinderianus) fed with three type of pellets, the growth performances. The pellets were based green fodders, products and byproducts of maize, medicinal plants and other food ingredients. Grasscutter breeding;feed pellets; byproducts of maize;growth; Benin. We have proposed to produce three types of pellets based from green fodders and/of products and by-products of maize and other food ingredients and evaluate their influences on growth performance of grasscutter in captivity. Study site:-The experiment was conducted in a grasscutter place of rearing of Non-Conventional Animal Species Breeding SubProgramm (S-PEEANC) of Zootechnical Veterinary and Halieutic Research Laboratory (LRZVH) in Agricultural Research Centre of Agonkanmey (CRA-Agonkanmey) in National Institute of Agricultural Research of Benin (INRAB) located in Commune of Abomey-Calavi.The climate is type Guinean, with two dry seasons (midNovember to mid-March and mid-July to mid-September) and two rainy seasons (mi-March to mi-July and miSeptember to mi-November).
