Abstract

This study aimed at determining the effect of groundnut cake and water on the weight of pigs. To that effect, it seek to develop the generalized linear model for the treatment effects and interaction as well as test their significance. Using a randomized complete block design, data were collected from sixty-four randomly selected pigs in a farm selected for the study. The generalized linear model was successfully fitted and the significance of the treatments tested. It was observed that the groundnut cake and water levels considered did not have significant effects. However, the pigs’ weight changed significantly suggesting that there exist other factors that contributed to the weight change.
