Leaf meals of the above-named tropical plants at 0.2,3,4 and 5% dietary levels were investigated for their values as feed ingredients egg yolk pigmenters in white maize based layer diets. Each diet was fed 5 replicates 15 hyaline layers 14 weeks. Pawpaw leaf meal (RM) 4% significantly (P<0.05) depressed intake without affecting production body weights. It, however, had no colouring yolk. Swo...

Background:α-Glucosidase Inhibition can significantly prevent glucose uptake after meal, and helps in controlling of some adverse effects in diabetics. So determination of α-Glucosidase inhibitory effect and antioxidant activity of the Haplophyllum acutifolium and Ferula haussknechtii aerial organs was the aim of this study.Methods:Inhibitory effect of hexane extracts from dif...

I . Protein concentrates were prepared from freshly cut lucerne by the Pirie proccss and freeze-dried. When supplemented with methionine or cystine and given to rats as the sole sourcc of protein at 120 g protcinjkg diet, the adjusted mean protein efficiency ratio was 2.89 (casein standard at 2. jo). As a supplenient to protein from barley meal the lucerne leaf-protein concentrate (LPC) was sim...

A biological experiment of six weeks duration, followed by several laboratory investigations were carried out to study the effect of designer layer mash (DLM) containing full fat flaxseed, oil rich sardine fish, Holy Basil leaf meal (BLM), vitamin E and Organic selenium (Sel-plex), on haematology of layers. Both designer diet and BLM had significant effect on haematology of layers. They also ex...

This review discusses the nutritive value of Leucaena leucocephala and its mimosine toxicity when used as a forage for livestock. Chemical analysis and feeding trial. have indicated that Leucaena leaf-meal with its high protein, calcium, -carotene and xanthophyll contents, is potentially a valuable feed for livestock in the tropics. The symptoms of mimosine toxicity in cattle, sheep, poultry, g...

Moringa oleifera commonly referred to as the drumstick tree is a plant from the Moringaceae family. It is a medicinal plant that was found to be loaded with different bioactive chemicals or secondary metabolites such as vitamins, minerals, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, carotenoids etc. which are involved in enhancing a long term health benefits.
