Effect Of Feeding Graded Level Of Decomposed Rumen Content To Snails
Rumen content, Achatina achatina, Growth parameter, feed
Abstract
The effect of graded level of rumen content fed to ninety growing snail, Achatina Achatina was investigated in a ten week experiment. Complete randomised designed (CRD) was used in which snails were assigned to three dietary treatment groups 10%,15% and 20% decomposed rumen content respectively, each treatment had three replicates with ten snails per replicate. The snails were fed ad-libitum. Growth parameter (weight Gain, feed intake feed to gain ratio were taken on weekly basis .snail fed 10% decomposed rumen Content recorded the highest weight gain (p0.05). Feed intake of those fed 10% rumen content was significantly higher (P
