Another factor limiting the wider feed use of many crop
residues is the ubiquitous occurrence of a diverse range
of natural compounds which act to reduce nutrient utilization
and low food intake which are referred to as
antinutritional factors (Osagie, 1998; Sarwar, 2012).
Fermentation brings about numerous biochemical and
nutritional changes in the raw materials, including the
breakdown of certain constituents, the reduction of
antinutritional factors and the synthesis of B vitamins
(Egounlety and Aworh, 2000). Analysis of fermented corn
cobs showed a significant reduction (p
