Influence of poultry manure rates on proximate, mineral, vitamin and anti-nutrient compositions of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) leaves

Succulent leaves of two accessions Baobab (Odo-Ere and Okoloke) grown under three poultry manure rates (PM) (0, 15 30 t ha-1) were harvested assayed for proximate, mineral, vitamin anti-nutrient compositions using standard analytical procedures in replicated trials. Results the analysis variance revealed a significant (p<0.05) effect accession on some contents leaves. Accession sourced from Okoloke contained higher carbohydrates protein while Odo-Ere had moisture content. Application ha-1 PM increased The was non-significant (p>0.05) mineral contents.
