The purpose of this study is to enhance the senescent plantain by making dockounou with a nutritional value for feeding Wistar rat. Batches of rats were fed with dockounou boiled and formulated with millet, soybean, sorghum, cassava, maize and rice flours for 15 days. The parameters such as weight gain, dry matter intake, feed efficiency and the digestibility of various dishes of dockounou were evaluated. It appears that apart from the control diet, only the dockounou of soybean made a weight gain to 2.05 g/d and 2.25 g/d obtained respectively with the formulation 80:20 and 75:25. The high dietary intakes to 7.18 g/d and 7.51 g/d were respectively obtained at 80:20 and 75:25 formulations for the same diet. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the food efficiency and the digestibility dockounou of soybean at both formulated and the control diet. Regarding nutritional performance of dockounou of soybean formulated to 80:20; this food could be used in the diet of Wistar rat.
Author Keywords: senescent plantain, nutrient intake, dockounou, growth performance, digestibility.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to enhance the senescent plantain by making dockounou with a nutritional value for feeding Wistar rat. Batches of rats were fed with dockounou boiled and formulated with millet, soybean, sorghum, cassava, maize and rice flours for 15 days. The parameters such as weight gain, dry matter intake, feed efficiency and the digestibility of various dishes of dockounou were evaluated. It appears that apart from the control diet, only the dockounou of soybean made a weight gain to 2.05 g/d and 2.25 g/d obtained respectively with the formulation 80:20 and 75:25. The high dietary intakes to 7.18 g/d and 7.51 g/d were respectively obtained at 80:20 and 75:25 formulations for the same diet. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the food efficiency and the digestibility dockounou of soybean at both formulated and the control diet. Regarding nutritional performance of dockounou of soybean formulated to 80:20; this food could be used in the diet of Wistar rat.
