Comparative Proximate Composition and Anti-Nutritional Profiling of Cassava Leaf Protein Concentrate (CLPC) Extracted via Four Processing Pathways

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) foliage is an abundant agricultural byproduct with high crude protein potential, but its utilization in animal feed is constrained by endogenous anti-nutritional factors (ANFs). This study evaluated four extraction pathways—thermal coagulation (4 °C for 24 h), isoelectric precipitatio...

Effects of Dietary Cassava Leaf Protein Concentrate Inclusion on Growth Performance and Nutrient Digestibility in Broiler Chickens

This study evaluated the impact of dietary supplementation with Cassava Leaf Protein Concentrate (CLPC), extracted via temperature-controlled coagulation (4 °C for 24 hours followed by centrifugation and drying), on the growth performance, feed intake patterns, crude nutrient composition, and protein digestibility in b...
