Highlights

  • One of the important cardinals of management is feeding and it accounts for 50-70% cost of production [1] but there has recently been an increase in competition among the ingredients used in the manufacture of animal feed

  • PATLM result was in accordance to the findings of Alagbe

  • Ash content is a measure of the mineral content in a sample; this is a clear indication that PATLM is loaded with various minerals that are necessary for major metabolic process and physiological process in the body of animals [29]

Summary

Introduction

One of the important cardinals of management is feeding and it accounts for 50-70% cost of production [1] but there has recently been an increase in competition among the ingredients used in the manufacture of animal feed. Phyo [19,20,21,22] reported that some plants such as thyme, lemon grass, turmeric and garlic are reliable feed additive and could provide positive advantages to the colonization as well as proliferation of lactobacilli, thereby modulating the immune system and activity of phagocytic host cells. This experiment was designed to evaluate the caecal microbial population of growing grass cutters (Thyronoyms swinderianus) fed Phyllantus amarus and Pilogstigma thonngii leaf meal mixture as partial replacement for soya bean meal. Fresh feed and water were provided ad libitum and all other management practices were strictly observed
