Book excerpt: Cassava is the most importan root and tuber crop grown in the tropical developing regions of the world. While the greater part of cassava production is destined for human food uses, the potential for the use of cassava and cassava products in animal feeding has increased considerably over the pest 20 years. The interest in the use of cassava as a carbohydrate source to replace, partially or totally, feed grains in rations for swine, poultry, ruminants, and other amimals has generated a vast amount of information on the subject. With the objective of systematizing this information and of making it more widely available to researchers, producers, and agroindustrialists, CIAT produced the bibliography "Cassava utilization in animal feed" in 1985 which contained 578 references.
