Analysis of proximate composition of landraces
Moisture content Ref. 934.01 at 95°C-100°C under pressure ≤ 100 mm Hg (ca 5 h), crude protein was analysed Ref. 984.13, fat (ether extract) Ref. 920.39, total ash was determined at 600°C for 2 h Ref. 942.05 and crude fiber Ref. 962.09 were all determined using AOAC (2006) methods. Total carbohydrate was calculated by difference [100- (crude protein + crude fat + ash + crude fiber)] (AOAC, 2006). Energy value was calculated by Pearson’s method (Kirk and Sawyer, 1991).
