Innovative Processing of Cassava Peels To Livestock Feeds: Tunde Amole

The document discusses processing cassava peels into livestock feed. It details developing a technology to grind, press, regrind, sieve, toast and dry cassava peels. The processed peel was analyzed and tested with industry partners and individuals. The processing helps boost livestock production, benefits women workers, creates jobs, and reduces environmental pollution.

Innovative processing of cassava peels to

livestock feeds
Tunde Amole

ILRI Institute Planning Meeting


4-7 October 2016
Background

Africa produces about 150 million tons of


cassava per year and Nigeria 50 million
Cassava processing generates ~ 40 million
tons of waste/annum in Africa
Drying of peels is on bare floor over a 3-day
period in the dry season.
At 100% successful drying, 1.3 tonnes wet
tubers yields about 220 kg of dried peels
Unsuccessful attempts to eliminate cassava
peels through burning and natural
decomposition constitute environmental
pollution.
What was done
• A technology for processing peels developed

DRYING

GRATING PRESSING REGRATING SIEVING

TOASTING
What was done

• Laboratory analysis (Masterlab The Netherlands, IITA Ibadan)


(CP= 3.1g/100g; starch=73.2g/100g; Fibre= 6.3g/100g; HCN= 90mg/kg; Zero limit of Aflatoxin)

• Products evaluated through linking up with the industry


partners (Amo farms in poultry and feed lot cattle)
(Individuals- in pig)
• Market demand for the new products was created
• Alternate use of cassava peels as carrier for aflasafe
developed with potential to release large quantities of
sorghum grains
• Technology disseminated through multimedia and visits
to the pilot processing unit.
Why does it matter?

• Boost livestock production to provide more ASF from


locally sourced feed resources

PROCESSING
• Opportunities for converting waste to feed benefitting
the women who constitute the bulk of the work force in
cassava processing units (incomes, livelihoods).

• Creates new job opportunities

• Environment friendly as it clears the wastes polluting the


areas around the cassava processing units

• Releases grains from feed industry for human


consumption, reducing animal-man competition.  Energy - 2/3 of maize
 Shelf life- 4-6 months
The Milestone

 Niji Foods Ltd (with matching funds from USAID)


 Durante Fish Feeds Ltd
 NGO Synergos—have established or started building six processing factories,
for two cassava peel products, CassaPeelMash® and CassaPeelBran®.
 The Nigerian environment ministry (establishment of six more processing
plants.
 ILRI has received related enquiries from 30 entrepreneurs in Nigeria, Ghana,
India, Malawi and South Africa.
 The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, which partnered ILRI in the
research phase, has also begun testing a third product Cassanules® for
Aflasafe® production in Senegal
