for producing more affordable locally manufactured feed for swine.
Tubers are rich in starch and can serve as a good source of energy
whereas coproducts are intermediate products with fair amount of
energy and protein with high fiber content. Some of these agricultural
products and coproducts are evaluated and used elsewhere.
However, agro-climatic conditions and farming systems
largely differ from location to location, which influences the
nutritional profile of tubers and their utilization in animals. Additionally,
processing conditions affect the nutritional value of coproducts.
Thus, nutritional value of these tubers and coproducts
from particular origin needs to be evaluated before being used in
swine feed.
