Daftar Isi:
- Cassava peel has the potential to be a source of feed energy for animals as it contains 74.7% total digestible nutrient (TDN) and 1.3 (Purwanti, 2005). However cassava peel also contains cyanogenic glycoside compounds, which are potentially toxic. If present in sufficient quantities, these compounds can cause acute cyanide poisoning and death in humans and animals when consumed. According to Best and Hargrove (1993) concentrations of cyanogenic glycoside linamarine varies among cultivars. Linamarine is hydrolysed to hydrogen cyanide (HCN) by endogenous linamerase when the tissue is damaged. Processes such as drying, soaking and boiling have been used to reduce the cyanide content of cassava peel. According to Cordoso et al. (2005) sun-drying retained 25 to 33% of the original linamarine presents in cassava flour. This study was conducted to reduce HCN content of cassava peel so that it is safe as a source of energy for goats. The effect of feeding cassava peel chips on nutrient intake and milk production of goats was also investigated.
