Rubber seeds as animal feed in Liberia
Material type:
TextSubject(s): Summary: In the development of new resources of feeds for animals, studies have been indicated in Liberia on the potential use of rubber seeds for feeding farm animals. The main objective of this work has been to develop simple, cheap methods of detoxification of the seed, which contains the glucoside linamarin as a cyanogentic factor. This is transformed by the action of the enzyme linamarase present in the seeds into prussic acid, which, when released, is poisonous to animals, preventing the use of these seeds for feeding.
