Abstract
Nutritional compositions of blood meal sourced from Bos primigenius (cattle) and Ovis aries (sheep) were determined. The moisture, ash, crude lipid, crude fibre, crude protein, carbohydrate (proximate), sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus (macro element), iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc (micro element) content of samples from Bos primigenius range from 8.99-10.08%, 9.01-10.99%, 7.15-
9.99%, 10.86-12.98%, 2.24-2.97%, 2.21-3.99%, 0.658- 0.885%, 0.122-0.322%, 0.648-0.883%, 0.119-0.196%, 1242- 1517 mg/kg, 2136-3925 mg/kg, 16.4-30.6 mg/kg and 17.01- 30.46 mg/kg respectively. Values for samples sourced from Ovis aries range from 0.98-80.01%, 72.31-77.01%, 0.05- 0.07%, 0.07-0.09%, 0.79-0.99%, 0.87-0.99%, 0.639-0.860%, 0.404-0.492%, 0.758-0.901%, 0.139-0.157%, 1425-1472mg/kg, 2468-3897 mg/kg, 46.40-55.10 mg/kg and 19.99- 50.97 mg/kg respectively. Comparison of the obtained values showed no significance difference. Therefore authors recommend the use of locally sourced blood meal as supplement to the expensive imported blood meal in order to reduce the cost of poultry production.
