Background. High cost of feed ingredients and increased demand for broiler chicken in many African countries has necessitated the search for alternative feed sources. Objective. To evaluate the effects of Hyphaene thebaica seed meal (HTSM) as substitute for maize on growth and blood parameters of broiler chickens. Methodology. Five experimental diets were formulated for the trial. Diet 1 (0% HTSM) served as the control while diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 contained 5, 10, 15 and 20% HTSM respectively replacing dietary maize in the diets of birds. A total of 225 day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted into five treatment groups with three replicates of fifteen birds each. Each group was assigned to the five experimental diets in completely randomized design (CRD). Feed and water were supplied ad libitum for all treatment groups during the trial. Result. Differences (P<0.05) were observed in the growth parameters measured except average daily feed intake (P>0.05). Feed conversion ratio and average daily weight gain of birds fed 0, 5 and 10% HTSM diets were better (P<0.05) compared to those fed 15 and 20 % HTSM diets. Differences (P<0.05) were also observed in the blood parameters measured except the packed cell volume (29.08- 31.89%) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (14.69-15.67pg). The white blood cell (11.45-18.14 x 109/l), red blood cell (4.71-6.99 x 1012/l), haemoglobin (6.92-10.05g/dl) and aspartate transaminase (72.95-90.16 IU/l), alanine aminotransaminase (62.84-79.50 IUu/l) and alkaline phosphatase (100.26-108.77 IU/l) increased (P<0.05) as the dietary levels of HTSM increased across the treatments. Carcass and organ weights of birds fed 0, 5 and 10% HTSM diets were better (P<0.05) than those fed 15 and 20% HTSM diets. Implication. Adequate processing of the HTSM is needed to reduce the anti-nutritional factors to a tolerable level before being used in broiler diet. Conclusion. Broiler chickens can tolerate up to 10% raw HTSM in their diets without adverse effect on growth performance.

“…As they are widely distributed at wetlands, people living around that area have been utilizing the different parts of the plant for various purposes since ancient times (Corneanu et al, 2014). Owing to high cellulose content (about 67%), they are used for craftwork, in the production of fabrics, making vessels, cattle feeding, the manufacture of boats in some countries (Garcia et al, 2019;Barbero-Barrera et al, 2021;John et al, 2022;Pandey et al, 2022). They are also used for medicinal treatments such as diarrhea, wounds, dysmenorrhea, nose bleeding, and burns (Akkol et al, 2011;Corneanu et al, 2014;Karbon and Alhammer, 2020;Sorourian et al, 2020).…”

Typha domingensis pollen is obtained from staminate flowers of plant that is edible. In this study, bioactive compounds from pollen were extracted using ethanol and methanol with conventional method. Further ultrasonication was applied to the samples to improve extraction efficiency. The extraction yield was higher with ethanol (26.3±0.14%) than with methanol (25.4±0.3%) and applying ultrasonication increased the yields significantly (P <0.05). Total phenolic compounds in ethanol and methanol extracts were determined as 9.83±0.48 and 9.71±0.55 mg GAE/g dry matter with the conventional method, and 11.76±0.64 and 12.74±0.37 mg GAE/g dry matter after ultrasonication, respectively. The flavonoid content with ethanol extraction was significantly higher than with methanol in both conventional and ultrasonication methods (P <0.05). Antioxidant activities using DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, and FRAP tests, were determined, and enhanced antioxidant capacities were observed after ultrasonication. The bioactive compounds were qualitatively analyzed using UV-VIS spectroscopy and FTIR which confirmed the presence of polyphenols.

“…plants are fibrous and have a low nutritive value [4], and thus may be more adequate for ruminant feeding than for other animal species. In fact, previous studies have suggested that Typha could be used as animal feed for ruminants in periods of feed shortage, such as the dry season, as the plant is continuously available [5][6][7]. Nevertheless, these practices require a simple and low-cost storage method to increase feed availability.…”

Typha is a wild plant with invasive growth that causes environmental problems in different areas worldwide. This study investigated the ensiling potential of typha (Typha latifolia) to be preserved and used for ruminant feeding. Four silage treatments were evaluated: typha with no additives (CON); with formic acid (FA; 4 mL/kg); with urea and molasses (UM; 19 and 24 g/kg, respectively); and with formic acid, urea, and molasses (FAUM; all at previous concentrations). Three bags of each silage were prepared and stored for 4 months before being analysed and fermented in vitro with ruminal fluid from sheep. All of the silages were well preserved, and their pH was greater (p < 0.05) for UM and FAUM (8.50 and 7.70, respectively) compared with CON and FA (5.39 and 4.75). The high concentrations of volatile fatty acid and ammonia−nitrogen in the UM and FAUM silages indicated undesirable fermentations and precluded their use in practice. However, neither CON nor FA silages improved the in vitro ruminal degradability of pre-ensiling typha (61.7, 58.2, and 65.2%, respectively), which was lower than that of a medium-quality triticale hay (68.0%). The results indicate that typha silage could replace low-quality forages in ruminant diets, being adequate especially for low-producing animals or for those under maintenance conditions. More studies with different doses of additives are needed to identify the optimal conditions for ensiling typha and increasing its nutritive value.
