Résumé

This study evaluated the feed and water intake of lactating West African dwarf does offered cassava leaf meal concentrate. Twenty animals were distributed into 2 treatments (0% and 30% cassava leaf inclusion levels). The goats' daily feed and water consumption was recorded, and their weights were taken. Data were analyzed using T-test using Minitab 2.0 statistical package for windows. The maximum concentrate intake (281.3g) and water intake (1150) was reported in 30% inclusion level although there was no difference between treatments (P>0.05).These results showed that
supplementation of concentrates based on cassava leaf meal at 30% level of inclusion improved feed intake. It is therefore recommended that lactating West African Dwarf Does could be fed up to 30% inclusion level of cassava leaf meal.
