“…A few researchers have evaluated the potential of Moringa stenopetala as livestock fodder (Abuye et al 2003;Jiru et al 2006;Gebregiorgis et al 2012). It is reported that M. stenopetala leaves have high CP contents (9% of DM), 280 mg kg -1 of vitamin C, and 160 mg kg -1 of β-carotene contents with iron and calcium contents of 30.8 and 7928 mg kg -1 , respectively (Abuye et al 2003). 'Gamolle' , an accession of M. stenopetala, gave higher biomass yield than M. oleifera (Jiru et al 2006).…”

“…In contrary, the high insoluble dietary fiber intake is often associated with slower rate of passage and may inhibit optimal digestion [18]. Therefore, the present study encourage using TL as a good source of digestible fiber for broilers like other tropical leaves [19] at inclusion level of 5-7%.…”

Introduction: the high cost of cereals and protein supplements and uncertainty about their sustainable supply for poultry pressed the need to search for other potential non-conventional feed sources which are relatively less used for human consumption. For stopping this problem the inclusion of taro leaf meals in poultry ration may supply high nutrients for the consumers because taro is multipurpose crop for food and feed sources. Taro leaf is rich in proteins and can be of supplementary protein, carotene and trace minerals in chicken diets. To achieve maximum efficiency in meat quality and production, properly balanced ration is a pre-requisite and taro could be possible alternative feed ingredients in this study.Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the feeding value of taro leaf in broiler rations which was conducted at Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center. Method and analysis:The study was carried out using four treatments in which the treatments were inclusion of TL at 0% (T1), 3% (T2), 5% (T3) and 7% (T4). The analysis undertaken in this study was feed DM, Crude Fiber (CF), Total Ash (TA), Ether Extract (EE), Crude Protein (CP) and functional properties (WHC, WA, WSI and WAI) of feed offered. The nutritional composition of chicken meat and cost benefit analysis were also evaluated to see the overall benefit of feeding taro. A total of eighty day-old Cobb500 broiler chicks were used for the study and lasted 56 days. At the end of the experiment, four birds were randomly taken from each pen and slaughtered for nutrient composition and protein quality analysis. Results:The result obtained from the study shows that variability was found as taro leaf level increase and from cost and benefit analyses of the study, taro leaf meal is cost effective meal when used as replacement of expensive and conventional meal in broilers rations Conclusion: Therefore, the present study encourage using taro leaf meal as a good source of nutrients for broilers like other tropical leaves

“…It has been reported that essential oils of M. stenopetala leaves showed trypanocidal and antileukaemic effects [11]. The leaves, seeds, and seedpods of M. stenopetala have good nutritional value and help to restore normal body weight [12][13][14]. The antibiotic principle of the seeds and antispasmodic effects of leaves of M. oleifera and M. stenopatala were also reported previously [15].…”

Context: Moringa stenopetala (Baker f) Cufodontis is an evergreen tree of approximately 5 to 10 m height and widely distributed in the Southern parts of Ethiopia with numerous nutritional and medicinal purposes. Objective:The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of hydro-ethanolic extract of M. stenopetala leaves using in-vivo mice model of diuresis.Methods: Furosemide (10 mg/kg), normal saline (1 ml/100 g), and extract doses (150, 250, 350, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) of body weight were used as standard, control and test substance respectively. All substances were administered orally. The urine output and electrolyte concentration of Na + , K + and Cl -were determined.Results: At all doses the experimental group had a significant urine output at 0.5 hour and 1 hour (P < 0.001) compared to standard and control. After 2.5 hours, at 500 mg/kg the extract showed an increased urine output compared to the control as well as the extract doses of 150, 250, 350 and 1000 mg/kg (P < 0.05). The excretion of Na + and Cl -was significantly increased at 250 and 350 mg/kg test doses (P < 0.001) compared to control. At 500 and 1000 mg/kg, there is a comparable Na+ and Cl-excretion and a significant K + excretion ((at 500 (P < 0.01) and 1000 mg/kg (P < 0.01)) compared to standard and control respectively. Conclusion:The outcome of the study demonstrated the diuretic activity of the hydro-ethanolic extracts of M. stenopetala leaves which is in agreement to the folkloric use of the plant for the management of hypertension and heart failure.
