1. TITLE: ON FARM EVALUATION OF YELLOW QUALITY PROTEIN MAIZE (QPM)
VARIETIES FOR YIELD AND ACCEPTABILITY BY FARMERS IN OYO STATE
SOURCE OF TECHNOLOGY: IAR/IITA
STATUS: Approved for 2016 but not implemented
JUSTIFICATION
Maize (Zea mays L) is cultivated on a large scale in Oyo State. In 2013 alone, 277,110 metric
tonnes of maize was produced in the State. Many farmers grow this crop either to meet
household consumption or as major raw material for agro allied industries (livestock feeds,
brewery industries and for confectionaries).
However, the protein level of local Maize variety is quite low (10 – 12%). Yellow QPM has not
been grown, promoted and marketed in Southern Nigeria. Yellow QPM contains carotene in
addition to both Lysine and Tryptophan unlike white QPM.
Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) and International Institute of Tropical Agriculture
(IITA) has developed Yellow QPM, hence the need to introduce this variety to farmers in Oyo
State for possible adoption. If adopted, it will assist in correcting nutrition related diseases such
as protein deficiency in children, nursing mothers and women.
OBJECTIVES
1) To evaluate Yellow QPM varieties for possible adoption and mass production in Oyo
State.
2) To evaluate them for yield potentials and economic benefits.

2. TITLE: ON FARM EVALUATION OF NEWLY DEVELOPED SOYABEAN
VARIETIES IN OYO STATE
SOURCE OF TECHNOLOGY: IAR&T
STATUS: Approved for 2016 but not implemented
JUSTIFICATION
Soya bean (Glycine max) is a popular crop in Oyo State and farmers in the State have been
feeding livestock feed millers and some other companies with this important crop. The
associated increase in demand for the crop by these industries requires commensurate increase in
production through yield increase, hence the need to carry out this trial for adaptability and
possible adoption by farmers.
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in collaboration with Institute of
Agricultural Research and Training (IAR&T) is promoting some new varieties (TGX 1805-17F,
TGX 1904-16F) which are high yielding. There is the need to evaluate these new varieties on
farmer’s field so as to compare their performance with already released and adopted variety
(TGX 1448-2E).
OBJECTIVES
1) To evaluate the yield potential and acceptability of these newly developed varieties.
2) To assess economic benefits

LIVESTOCK
1. TITLE: EFFECT OF MAXIGRAIN® SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE UTILIZATION
OF MAIZE OFFAL- BASED DIETS FOR BROILERS
SOURCE: AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY (ABU), ZARIA
STATUS: Approved for 2016 but not implemented
JUSTIFICATION:
Some of the major problems facing livestock farmers (especially poultry farmers) in Nigeria are
non- availability and high cost of conventional feed ingredients such as Maize, Soyabean etc.
There is competition between livestock and man for maize and this has led to high cost of maize
which constitutes about 30 – 60% of finished feed thus, resulting in high cost of livestock feed.
This therefore necessitates the need to source for locally available agro- industrial by- products
or waste such as Maize Offal (MO) to serve as cheaper substitute for maize.
Maize offal (MO) is available in large quantities but has high fibre content which is one of the
features of most of the locally available agro- industrial by- products thereby limiting their
utilization by young monogastric animals.
In order to increase the performance of broilers and reduce the cost of feed using these materials,
enzymes such as Maxigrain® (a multi- enzyme complex) can be added to maize offal- based feed
without any adverse effect.
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria has established that inclusion of 15% and 20% Maize
Offal supplemented with exogenous enzymes such as Maxigrain® in the feed of broilers at both
the starter and finisher phases had no detrimental effects on growth, hence the need to confirm
this finding on the farmers’ field in Oyo State.
OBJECTIVES:
1 To compare the effect of Maxigrain® supplementation on the utilization of maize offal-
based diets on growth performance of broilers.
2. To reduce cost of feed using Maize Offal (MO).
3. To compare the cost effectiveness between the two diets.
12
MATERIALS AND METHODS
One Cooperator per zone will be selected making a total of four cooperators in the
State.
Each zone will serve as a replicate making four replicates
There will be two treatments
Treatment 1 – Maize Offal- based diet without Maxigrain®.
Treatment 2 – Maize Offal- based diet with Maxigrain®
A total of 200 day old broiler chicks shall be used for the experiment i.e. 25 broiler
chicks per treatment.
The broiler chicks will be fed with broiler starter for four weeks (0- 4weeks) and
broiler finisher for another four weeks (5 – 8 weeks).
The birds will be given clean cool water and feed ad libitum.
All necessary vaccination and veterinary care will be carried out.
After recording the initial weight, the weight will be taking weekly till the end of
the trial.
DURATION: 8 Weeks
FARMERS’ INVOLVEMENT
The farmers will provide housing, feeders, drinkers, brooding appliances and labour for
feeding, watering and other management practices.
DATA TO BE COLLECTED
1. Feed intake.
2. Weight gain.
3. Mortality.
4. Feed conversion ratio would be calculated
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Data collected will be subjected to statistical analysis using t-test
and economic analysis (cost of feed/kg weight gain).

2. TITLE: EFFECT OF MAXIGRAIN® SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE UTILIZATION
OF MAIZE OFFAL DIET FOR LAYERS
SOURCE: Institute of Agricultural Research and Training IAR&T
STATUS: Approved for 2016 but not implemented
JUSTIFICATION:
Feed accounts for about 70% of the total cost of poultry production. The availability and low
price of many agro industrial by-products have led to high interest aimed at improving their
nutritive value for animals.
One of such agro- industrial by- products is Maize Offal (MO) which is available in large
quantities and has a high fibre content, low palatability, lacks several essential amino acids and
has anti - nutritional factors which limits its inclusion in poultry diet. Use of exogenous enzymes
in poultry diets is a common practice nowadays and it enhances the performance of animals fed
diets containing high fibre.
In order to increase the production performance of layers and reduce the cost of feed, enzymes
such as Maxigrain® can be added to Maize offal (MO) diet without any adverse effect.
Institute of Agricultural Research and Training (IAR&T), Ibadan has established that inclusion
of 40% Maize Offal supplemented with exogenous enzyme such as Maxigrain® can be included
in feed of layers without any detrimental effects on their production performance and economic
indices. Hence the need to confirm this finding on the farmers field in Oyo State.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To compare the effect of Maxigrain® supplementation of palm kernel meal diet on
production performance of layers.
2. To reduce the cost of feed using Maize Offal.
3. To compare the cost effectiveness between the two diets.
17
MATERIALS AND METHODS
One Cooperator per zone will be selected making a total of four cooperators in the
State.
Each zone will serve as a replicate making four replicates.
There will be two treatments
Treatment 1 – control (conventional feed).
Treatment 2 – Maize Offal diet with Maxigrain®
A total of 120 Point of lay (POL) birds will be used for the experiment i.e.
15 POL birds per treatment.
The layers will be fed layer’s mash for eight (8) weeks
The birds will be given clean cool water and feed daily.
All necessary vaccinations and veterinary care shall be carried out.
Data on feed intake, egg production and mortality will be taken daily till the end
of the trial.
DURATION: 8 Weeks
FARMERS’ INVOLVEMENT
The farmers will provide housing, feeders, drinkers, laying nests and labour for feeding, watering
and other management practices.
DATA TO BE COLLECTED
1. Feed intake
2. Daily egg production
3. Mortality

FISHERIES
1. TITLE: Growth performance of Clarias gariepinus juvenile fed Biscuit crumbs as a
replacement for yellow maize.
SOURCE: University of Ibadan
JUSTIFICATION:
About 70% of the total production cost goes into procurement of feed in fish farming.
One of the major survival hindrances in the development and expansion of African aquaculture
industries is lack of locally produced diet for growth and attainment of market size fish within
the shortest possible time.
Substituting one ingredient for another to get the best nutritive value at reduced cost is a very
common practice among fish nutrition specialists. University of Ibadan has favourably
established that feeding fish at 25% biscuit crumbs meal (BCM) inclusion rate had positive
effects on growth performance and nutrient utilization hence, the need to confirm this finding in
the farmers’ environment in Oyo State.
OBJECTIVE:
To replace the yellow maize meal (Conventional feed) with Biscuit crumbs meal (Non-
conventional feed).
To get the best nutritive value at reduced cost
To compare the cost effectiveness between the two diets.
MATERIALS:
1. 2nos of 10m x 10m fish pond
2. 200 juvenile catfish per pond
3. Fish feeds (i) Diet 1 – Experimental diet with yellow maize
(ii) Diet 2 – Experimental diet with Biscuit crumbs
1. Scale, Nets, Meter rule, Bowl.
METHODOLOGY: Each pond will be stocked with 200 juveniles of Clarias gariepinus and
fed at 5% body weight for 12 weeks.
TREATMENTS: T1 - Catfish fed without biscuit crumbs diet
T2 - Catfish fed with biscuit crumbs diet
One farmer per zone will be selected making a total of four farmers in the State.
The two treatments would be replicated in the four zones of OYSADEP i.e. each zone will serve
as a replicate making four replicates
DURATION: 12 weeks

2. TITLE: EFFECT OF PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF WHEAT BRAN WITH MAIZE COB
ON FISH FEED FLOATATION AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF AFRICAN CATFISH
JUVENILE
SOURCE: University of Ibadan.
JUSTIFICATION:
In fish farming, about 70% of the total production cost goes into feeding. There is rising cost of
fish feed due to increase in price of the ingredients notably Fish meal, Maize, wheat etc. These
feeds come in different forms - pellets and mash. This could be sinking or floating. Efforts at
reducing feed cost, targets the use of readily available materials in cost effective proportions. It is
also essential to consider the floating properties of the feed as poorly bound fish feed are prone
instability in ponds and leaching of nutrients etc. University of Ibadan has established that the
cost of fish production can be reduced by incorporating 20% maize cob into fish feed. This
inclusion rate helped to reduce cost of fish production, increase floatability of feed and also
maximise profit hence, the need to confirm this finding in the farmers’ environment in Oyo
State.
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of floatability properties of maize cobs in partial replacement of
wheat bran in fish diet
To evaluate the cost effectiveness of the experimental diets.
MATERIALS: 1. 2nos 10m x 10m pond
2. 200 juvenile catfish
3. Fish feeds:
a) Diet 1 – Compounded ration containing 100% Wheat bran
b) Diet 2 - Compounded ration with 20% replacement of wheat
bran with maize cob
4. Scale, nets, meter rule, bowls, etc

FARM MECHANIZATION/AGRO PROCESSING
1. TITLE: DEMONSTRATION OF MOBILE CASSAVA GRATING MACHINE
STATUS: Approved for 2016 but not implemented
SOURCE: NCAM
FABRICATOR: Process Concept and Technologies Limited, Ibadan.
JUSTIFICATION:
Cassava is considered as one of the most processed tropical tuber crops in Nigeria, especially in
Oyo State. The processing could come in different folds; Milling, Chipping, Grating etc.
depending on the intended end product which could be garri, starch, chips, flour etc. Mostly,
cassava processing activities leading to size reduction include peeling, grating, dehydrating,
milling and sieving.
In Oyo State today, grating of cassava constitutes more than 70 percent of tuber processing, be it
for household or public consumption purposes especially now that the old methods have been
replaced by graters prominent amongst processors in the State, which are belt driven from a
static 5Hp Lister type engine.
However, Processing centres are usually located at a fixed place as the equipments are fixed to
the ground. This thus requires transportation of fresh tubers to processing centres with greater
cost incurred in transportation to and fro. In some instances, difficulties in transportation often
lead to delays in evacuation of fresh tuber to processing centres with some level of tuber
deterioration recorded.
Problem Statement:
- Cassava tubers have about 70% moisture content depending on the specie and the season of
harvest. This makes them bulky and therefore transporting the tubers to urban markets is difficult
and expensive.
- The cassava processors in Oyo State are scattered around. Even in centers where they form
cooperatives, they still mount separate grounds of processing. These grounds are usually distant
from one another which as a result, also require transporting tubers around.
- Graters adopted by or prominent among the processors in the State are static due to the fixed
position of the driver engine (Lister engine type).
- Operation of these prominent graters generally requires power, skill and human attention.
Towards solving these problems, NCAM has developed mobile cassava grater with the under
listed advantages.
31
The operation of the mobile grater requires lesser attention, power or skill in the sense
that the driver engine is much lighter and easy to start. This means that even our rural
women who are the playmaker in this cassava processing business can operate the grater
successfully without hassle
The mobile grater will not only bring about labour reduction but also cut way excessive
transportation cost because the grater can be moved to where the cassava tubers were
harvested, hence the introduction of the technology to processors in Oyo State for
possible adoption.
DESCRIPTION:

1. TITLE: Acceptability of Vitamin A Cassava amongst Rural Dwellers in Oyo
State
SOURCE: International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
STATUS: Approved for 2016 but not implemented
LOCATION: Four (4) Zones
JUSTIFICATION:
The rural populace is vulnerable to food health problems which affect productivity of the rural
farmers. Vitamin A deficiency is one of these major food health problems. It is estimated that
20% pregnant women and 30% children under five years are vitamin A deficient (Mainasara
2011). Harvest Plus (IITA) is currently developing and promoting bio-fortified cassava (yellow
fleshed cassava) that contains pro-vitamin A carotenoids that could contribute to reducing
vitamin A deficiency, which is widespread in the country. Oyo State has been selected as one of
the pilot states in Nigeria. Vitamin A is known to boost immunity and vision.
Hence, it is necessary to process the vitamin A cassava into Gari, Lafun and Fufu to test the
acceptability at the rural areas in Oyo State.
OBJECTIVES
- To determine acceptability of the products from Pro - vitamin A Cassava tubers.
- To alleviate the problem of vitamin A deficiency in Oyo State.
- To improve on the productivity of rural populace through better nutrition.
METHODOLOGY
A. Freshly harvested Cassava tubers (Vitamin A and Farmers variety) will be processed into
gari, lafun and fufu.
B. i. Gari will be prepared into eba
ii. Lafun will be prepared into amala.
iii. Fufu will be cooked.
C. Vegetable soup will be prepared to enhance taste.
D. Panel of Judges: Ten (10) people: four (4) men and six (6) women will be selected to do
sensory evaluation at the four (4) locations. Parameters to consider will include
appearance, color, texture, taste and overall acceptance.

2. TITLE: DEMONSTRATION OF MODERN SMOKING KILN TO PRODUCE
GOOD QUALITY SMOKED FISH
Source: Nigerian Stored Produce Research Institute (NSPRI)
Status: New
JUSTIFICATION:
Fish is a staple source of protein of the average Nigerian diet. Fish farming plays an important
role in supplying fish and other fish products for local consumption and even export. However,
fish is highly perishable and in order to add value, preserve, increase shelf life, as well as
increase the income of farmers, processing is highly necessary. Various conventional methods
such as freezing, smoking, salting, sun-drying, frying and combinations of these have been
engaged to preserve and process fish for consumption and storage.
Fish smoking prolongs shelf life, enhances flavour and reduces wastage in times of bumper
harvest or glut. Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute (NSPRI) has conducted research trial
on the usage of locally fabricated smoking kiln to process fish, hence the need to demonstrate
this technique as a means of adding value and reducing post-harvest losses.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To reduce post-harvest losses of fish farmers and increase their income through value
addition.
2. To increase awareness of value addition through usage of modern smoking kiln.
3. To measure the acceptance rate of the modern smoking kiln and determine the shelf life
of the fish product.
MATERIALS: Smoking kiln, charcoal, plastic bowls, knives, trays, weighing scales, packaging
nylon, fish and salt.
METHODOLOGY:
Four 25kg capacity smoking kiln would be locally fabricated for the ADP and would be
sited in each of the Zones.
This will be replicated in the four (4) zones of the State.
Twenty five (25) fish farmers per zone would be selected to participate in the
demonstration.
