Abstract
Animal by-products (ABPs) are used in livestock diets as they are good source of amino acids (AA), calcium, phosphorus and vitamins (NRC, 2012). Knowledge on feedstuff composition is important for the nutritionist, in order to meet the nutrient requirements of livestock and for the feed manufacturer, to produce nutritionally balanced compound feeds (Gizzi and Givens, 2004).
