“…Wider leaflet leads to greater leaflet biomass production. Huque et al (2017) also reported that the fresh biomass production of drumstick leaf has a fairly large variation among cultivars, ranged from 10.6 t h -1 y -1 to 38.7 t h -1 y -1 . Gadzirayi et al (2019) also reported that in plantings with a distance of 20 × 20 cm, the biomass production of drumstick leaves originating from Malawi was 36% higher than that from Mutoko.…”

Abstract. Ridwan, Hamim, Suharsono, Hidayati N, Gunawan I. 2021. Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) variation in biomass and total flavonoid content in Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 493-500. Utilization of a drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaf has recently increased worldwide which consequently cause the increase in global demand. Indonesia, as a tropical country with large area, has a great potential to become a center for drumstick cultivation and leaf production. Drumstick distribution scattered in almost all of the islands of Indonesia has another potential for obtaining superior genotype variabilities. The aim of this study was to select the drumstick accessions from several islands in Indonesia with high leaf biomass production and flavonoid content. This experiment was carried out in the field using ten accessions of drumstick from ten islands in Indonesia, namely Sumatra, Java, Madura, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Drumstick seeds were planted in polybags with a capacity of 10 kg and arranged using a randomized block design with three replications. The parameters observed were plant growth, biomass production, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity. The results of this study found that Sumatra accession was the accession which had the highest leaf biomass production in combination with the uppermost total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity compared to others. Sumatra accession is recommended as an excellent accession for cultivation with the aim of producing flavonoids.

“…The experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Savar, about 24 kilometers northwest of the capital city of Bangladesh. The site is located at 23°42′0″ N, 90°22′30″ E, at an altitude of 4 mm above the sea level (Huque, 2017). This area's meteorological conditions are more or less similar to the central part of the country concerning temperature, rainfall, and humidity.…”

“…The condition of the soil of the experimental site is clayed textured, which is strongly acidic (pH 4.5-5.7) containing a very little (<1.5%) organic matter, and it belongs to the Madhupur Terrace Agro-ecological Zone of Bangladesh (Hasan et al, 2019;Huque, 2017). (Sarker et al, 2019).On the other hand, Pakchong-1 was developed by the Department of Livestock Development, Thailand, which is reported to grow over 3 m tall in less than two months, gives high yields, and can be harvested after 45 days with a CP concentration of 16−18% (Kiyothong, 2014).…”

A 2×3 factorial experiment was conducted to compare two cultivars; Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute developed Napier hybrid-3 (BN-3) (Pennisetum purpureum) and Pakchong-1 (Pennisetum purpureum× P. glaucum) in terms of forage growth, biomass yield, and nutritional quality. Cultivars were cultivated in 03 blocks with 03 replicates and were harvested at 03 cutting periods (40, 50, and 60 days). Plot sizes for each cultivar were 25 m2 (5m × 5m), and in every plot, twenty-five stem cuttings with two healthy nodes per cutting were planted with (1×1) m spacing. The effects of cultivar and cutting period were significant on plant height, leaves per tiller, leaf DM production, and leaf stem ratio (LSR). Highest plant height (P<0.01) and leaves per tiller (P<0.05) were consistently produced by BN-3, while Pakchong-1 produced the highest amount of CP (P<0.05), LSR (P<0.05), tiller diameter (P<0.01) and diameter of the lowest node (P<0.01). Based on the %DM, DM yield, and CP yield, BN-3 performed better cutting at 50 days after the first plantation, but Pakchong-1 performed better cutting at 60 days after the first plantation. From the forage standpoint, Pakchong-1 seems to have little advantages over BN-3 because of its higher DM, LSR, and CP production. Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2021. 50 (1):43-49

“…Considering Mf is one of the best options for Bangladesh that may manufacture feed of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) plant twigs and branches and produce safe food for animal origin smartly (Sultana et al, 2012). Agronomical options for on station production of Moringa fodder are generated out of the research works completed in the most recent year (Huque et al, 2017). It also used as a animal feed that may replace conventionally mixed concentrates containing 16.0 to 18.0% crude protein (CP) for ruminant animals including dairy cattle, and it found to be better than any other feeds and fodder available in the country in terms of efficiency of biomass and animal production, reduction of enteric methane emission and benefit to cost (Huque et al, 2017).…”

The research work was carried out to evaluate the food-feed competitive efficiency of Moringa fodder in the Active Brahmaputra-Jamuna Floodplain Agro-Ecological Zone (ABJF-AEZ) of Bangladesh. For determining the competitive land use efficiency of Mornga feed (Mf) production, the Moringa fodder was cultivated in Gaibandha district at ABJF-AEZ with four replications. The annual dry matter (DM) yield of Moringa at on-farm condition was the height (26.67 ton/ha) and it was varied significantly (P<0.05) with on-station condition. Comparing the Moringa fodder with available cash crop, the cost of production of Moringa was higher than that of other two cropping system like Boro-fellow-Jute (BFJ) and Boro-Fellow-Matikalai (BFM) but the gross return of Moringa cultivation was Tk.186.3 thousand, it was about five times higher income than existing cash crop. For determining the impacts of Mf on milk production and their quality, twelve local cows of third or fourth parity after 1 to 2 weeks of calving in Gaibandha Sadar Upazila were selected and divided into three dietary groups having four animals in each considering their live weight and ante-diet daily milk yield. During 50 days feeding period all experimental cows were fed freshly threshed rice straw and keeping randomly a group under on farm practice that received supplementation of conventionally mixed concentrates (CMC), the other two groups of cows were either received a commercial cattle feed available at the market or Mf replacing conventional concentrate supplements. Mf produced significant amount of milk (1.64 kg/day) and meat (441.3 g/day) followed by commercial cattle feed (1.1 kg/day and 128.2 g/day) and CMC (0.73 kg/day and 48.4 g/day), respectively. It was also indicated that Mf is better than market feed for the increase of milk yield and live weight gain. So, Mf is an unbeatable animal feed to increase the productivities of cows.
