Abstract

The experiment was conducted to evaluate processed (smoked) pork products of finisher pigs fed rice offal and millet hulls-based diets. A total of eighteen grower pigs were randomly allotted to three dietary treatments designated as T1, T2 and T3.T1 served as control and was fed with maize offal-based diet as a sole fiber source. T2 and T3 served as treatment groups to which maize offal was replaced with 100% millet hulls inclusion level and 100% rice offal inclusion levels respectively. The experiment lasted for 56 days. Thereafter, three finisher pigs were slaughtered and processed and the following parameters were evaluated, crude protein, ash, ether extract, moisture, dry matter, pH, potassium, Calcium, iron and phosphorus as well as sensory characteristics-aroma, flavor, texture and appearance from the specific pork cuts. At the end of the experiment, it was observed that replacing maize offal with rice offal and millet hulls had no adverse effects on the meat quality in terms of proximate composition. values gotten from the smoke hind limbs showed no significant difference for crude protein and ether extract. T3 yielded the most potassium and phosphorus values with 213.56 and 223.43 respectively for smoked bacon. There was no significant difference between the values of crude protein and ether extract.T1 yielded the highest value for phosphorus content with 215.78.T3 smoked pork shoulders yielded the highest crude protein values with 24.65.T1 had a superior value of 5.11 compared to T2 and T3.T3 had the most phosphorus content with 219.56 the results shows that the use of properly processed millet hulls and rice offal up to 100% level as a replacement to maize offal is an effective way to finish pigs used for production of processed(smoked)pork cuts.
