Enhancement of the nutritive values of some agro-industrial waste products by solid state fermentation.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of biodegradation on nutrient contents rice bran (RB), cassava residual pulp (CRP), saw dust (SD) and palm oil fibre (POF) by Penicilium sp. RB, CRP, SD POF were subjected solid state fermentation for 7 days process terminated oven drying at 700C 24hours. The fermented samples thoroughly mixed, dried stored in sterile bottles analyses. Results proximate composition before after revealed that percentage improvement crude protein, ether extract, ash, gross energy significantly (P<0.05) higher CRP compared POF. Similarly, reduction highest (P><0.05) other agro industrial wastes products. It evident using Penicillium sp enhanced protein value reduced bran, pulp, thereby increasing availability their utilization as feed alternative ingredients farm animal nutrition. ><0.05) nutrition.><0.05) n
