- Abstract
Abstract  Effects of site and degutting on chemical composition of mopane worm were investigated. Samples were cooked for 30 min in either brine or in plain water. Samples from Moreomabele were high in acid detergent fibre (ADF) (PâIn vitro true dry matter digestibility (IVTDMD) tended (Pâ=â0.06) to be high in samples from Maunatlala than those from Moreomabele and Sefophe. No site difference (Pâ>â0.05) was observed on the rest of the variables. Degutted samples had high crude protein (CP), ADF and IVTDMD (Pââ0.05) change concentrations of all but ADF which tended (Pâ=â0.09) to be high in salted samples. Samples which were degutted and salted had higher (Pâ
