Résumé

The aim of determining the proximate analysis of red finger millet/Tamba (Eleusine coracana) was to ascertain its nutritional composition and its ability to be used as feed ingredient. Proximate analysis of red finger millet was carried out at the biochemistry laboratory of the department of Animal Science, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. The result of the analysis revealed that it contained Dry Matter88.48; Crude Protein (CP)-13.98; Ether Extract (EE)-3.70; Crude Fiber (CF)-6.67; Ash-4.90; Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE)-59.22. Therefore, it can be concluded that finger millet is a nutritious feed resource and can be incorporated into animal feed. It is recommended for farmers to use it by incorporating it into livestock feed because of the prospects it has shown in the proximate analysis result.
