		This was attributed to the presence of trypsin inhibitor, haemagglutinin, tannic acid, phytic acid and oxalate present in the raw seeds (Onwudike and Eguakun 1992; Apata and Ologhobo 1997).
		The objective of this study was, therefore, to determine the performance of pullet chicks fed graded levels of raw Bambarra groundnut offal as a replacement for soybean meal and maize in the diets.
		The effect of bambarra groundnut offal (BGO) diets on the performance of pullet chicks was significant (P<0.05) for all the parameters measured, except percent mortality.

		To look at it you wouldn’t think this small groundnut was particularly special – but scientists at the UK’s University of Nottingham believe Bambara Groundnut may well be the future of vegetable protein in countries with particularly dry climates.
		Their aim now is to show that Bambara Groundnut has the potential to produce a useful contribution to sustainability in Africa and other countries.
		There are many hundreds of Bambara Groundnuts if you like, of unutilised crops in the world, and the idea that they’re all useless and that we really shouldn’t bother wasting our time trying to improve them, is really out of date now.
