The nutrient composition of three samples of SCB was assessed using the methods prescribed by the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC 2005). The moisture content (AOAC 925.45), total mineral content (Ash) (AOAC 942.05), crude fat ether extraction (AOAC 2003.05); crude protein (CP) content were measured using the Kjeldahl method N × 6.25 (AOAC. 991.20) and Ca, P, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mo, and S were determined by microwave digestion of samples and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (AOAS 2011.14). The acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (aNDF) were determined as previously described [2]. Non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC) were calculated as follows [2]:

where NDF = Non-fiber carbohydrates, CP = crude protein.
