Background: Today, due to the still high rates of maternal death and incessant caesareans, the high cost of pharmaceutical drugs, parturients are turning to traditional midwives to facilitate childbirth. The purpose of this study is to identify and document the medicinal plants traditionally used for their oxytocic effect by the traditional midwives in the department of Dabakala.Methods: an ethnobotanical survey was conducted with 71 traditional midwives from the department of Dabakala. The data were analyzed with Epidata and SPSS 20.0 software. The Chi-square test was used to compare the percentages of the parts used, the method of preparation and the method of administration. To better interpret the cultural medicinal value of plants, several quantitative ethnobotanical indices have been used such as the Consensus for the Part of the Plant (CPP), the Contribution of each plant in the constitution of recipes (Cpr), the consensual value of types of use (Cs) the Frequency of recipes (Fr) and Relative frequency of citation (FRC). Results:The results of this survey indicated that 48 species in 41 genera and 28 families are used by midwives for their oxytocic effect. The most represented family is the Fabaceae. Among the species cited, Portulaca oleracea, Alternanthera pungens, Ocimum americanum, Uvaria tortilis, Blighia sapida are the plants most used for their oxytocic effect in the department of Dabakala. Conclusion:These results constitute a database for subsequent studies aimed at assessing the biological and chemical composition of these plants.
Sargassum fluitans (Børgesen) Børgesen et Sargassum natans (Børgesen) Børgesen (Sargassaceae) sont deux algues brunes invasives qu’on retrouve dans les eaux et sur les plages du golfe de Guinée, notamment celles de la Côte d’Ivoire. L’objectif de cette étude est de contribuer à la lutte contre la pollution environnementale des sargasses sur les plages ivoiriennes à travers une valorisation de ces algues en additifs alimentaires en aviculture et en cuniculture. Ainsi, la teneur des deux algues en composés phénoliques ainsi que leurs pouvoirs antioxydants ont été évalués. On note une bonne teneur en polyphénols totaux avec les extraits aqueux avec des valeurs de 378,30 ± 0,59 mg/100 g et 549,39 ± 0,00 mg/100 g respectivement pour SF et SN. Au niveau des phlorotannins, on a des teneurs qui varient entre 93,18 ± 1,46 mg/100g et 36,37 ± 0,58 mg/100g selon le solvant utilisé. L’activité antiradicalaire contre le radical ABTS a donné des valeurs moyennes de 3,89 ± 2,28 mg/mL avec SFEth et 3,21 ± 2,29 mg/mL pour SNH2O. Ces résultats obtenus indiquent que Sargassum fluitans (SF) et Sargassum natans (SN) renferment des composés phénoliques et ont des activités antioxydantes intéressantes susceptibles d’encourager vers leur valorisation en tant qu’additifs alimentaires aux pouvoirs immunogènes chez les poulets de chairs (Gallus gallus domesticus) et les lapins (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Sargassum fluitans (Børgesen) Børgesen and Sargassum natans (Børgesen) Børgesen (Sargassaceae) are two invasive brown algae found in the waters and on the beaches of the Gulf of Guinea, particularly those of Côte d'Ivoire. The objective of this study is to contribute to the fight against the environmental pollution of Sargassum on Ivorian beaches through the valorization of these algae in food additives in poultry farming and rabbit farming. Thus, the content of the two seaweeds in phenolic compounds as well as their antioxidant powers were evaluated. A good content of total polyphenols is noted with the aqueous extracts with values of 378.30 ± 0.59 mg/100g and 549.39 ± 0.00 mg/100g respectively for SF and SN. The phlorotannins contents varied between 93.18 ± 1.46 mg/100g and 36.37 ± 0.58 mg/100g depending on the solvent used. The antiradical activity against the ABTS radical gave average values of 3.89 ± 2.28 mg/mL with SFEth and 3.21 ± 2.29 mg/mL for SNH2O. The results obtained show that Sargassum fluitans (SF) and Sargassum natans (SN) contain phenolic compounds and have interesting antioxidant activities likely to encourage their development as food additives with immunogenic powers in broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) and rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
