“…It compares well in nutrient composition, especially crude protein, with Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium (Daramola et al, 2005;Owusu et al, 2008). Moringa oleifera supplementation has been reported to improve the growth performance of ruminants when supplemented as fresh fodder, hay, or as part of a concentrate diet (Sultana et al, 2015;Kholif et al, 2016;Jiwuba et al, 2016). This is in contrast with the result of this present study, because the supplementation of MOLM had no influence on any of the growth parameters.…”

Moringa oleifera leaves may have the potential to enhance nutritional status, growth performance, and health of ruminant animals when used as part of their diets. However, the nutritional value of the leaves for goats is largely unknown and needs to be investigated. Consequently, eighteen West African Dwarf (WAD) bucks weighing 7.0 ± 0.33 kg were used in a completely randomized design to evaluate the effects of diluting a conventional supplement with three levels of M. oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on growth performance, haematology, and blood biochemical constituents. The MOLM was included in the commercial supplement at a rate of 0, 50, and 100 g/kg dry matter (DM). Including MOLM in the supplement did not significantly affect weight gain, dry matter intake, and metabolic weight gain of bucks. Packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (hb), and total protein were not significantly influenced by MOLM inclusion, either. However, blood urea concentration was significantly increased in bucks that were offered MOLM-based diets. All blood parameters, as well as alanine transaminase (ALT) and urea, were within the normal reference ranges for clinically healthy goats. The MOLM-based supplements had significantly lower feed cost per kilogram of weight gain and higher profit per kilogram of gain. It was concluded that diluting the commercial supplement with MOLM up to 100 g/kg DM does not impair the nutritional status, growth performance and health status of the goats while reducing the feed cost per gain.

“…Its leaves and fresh green pods are used as vegetables by humans and are rich in vitamins A, B and C, with a good profile of amino acids and minerals (Ca, P, and Fe) (Djakalia et al, 2011). There has been increasing interest in the use of M. oleifera as a protein source for livestock (Kholif et al, , 2016. Safwat et al (2014), in their review, reported that Moringa leaf meal at levels of inclusion of up to 20% of the diet is non-toxic and improves the productive performance of weaning rabbits.…”

“…Recommended inclusion levels range between 24 to 40% for growing or fattening rabbits fed on fresh L. leucocephala leaves (Nieves et al, 2004). Moringa oleifera, a non-leguminous multi-purpose tree, is one of the fastest growing trees in the world, with high crude protein (CP) in the leaves and negligible contents of secondary metabolites (Kholif et al, , 2016. Its leaves and fresh green pods are used as vegetables by humans and are rich in vitamins A, B and C, with a good profile of amino acids and minerals (Ca, P, and Fe) (Djakalia et al, 2011).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of feeding dried foliage (leaves and petioles) of Acacia saligna, Leucaena leucocephala or Moringa oleifera on the performance, digestibility, N utilisation, caecal fermentation and microbial profiles in New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. One hundred weaned male NZW rabbits weighing 819.2±16.6 g and aged 35±1 d were randomly allocated into 4 groups of 25 rabbits each. Rabbits were fed on pelleted diets containing 70% concentrate mixture and 30% Egyptian berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum) hay (Control diet) or one of the other 3 experimental diets, where 50% of berseem hay was replaced with A. saligna (AS), L. leucocephala (LL) or M. oleifera (MO). Compared to Control diet, decreases in dry matter (DM; P=0.004), organic matter (P=0.028), crude protein (CP; P=0.001), neutral detergent fibre (P=0.033) and acid detergent fibre (P=0.011) digestibility were observed with the AS diet. However, DM and CP digestibility were increased by 3% with the MO diet, and N utilisation was decreased (P<0.05) with AS. Rabbits fed AS and LL diets showed decreased (P=0.001) average daily gain by 39 and 7%, respectively vs. Control. Feed conversion was similar in Control and MO rabbits, whereas rabbits fed AS diet ate up to 45% more feed (P=0.002) than Control rabbits to gain one kg of body weight. Caecal ammonia-N was increased (P=0.002) with LL, while acetic acid was decreased (P=0.001) with AS diet vs. other treatments. Caecal E. coli and Lactobacillus spp. bacteria counts were decreased with MO by about 44 and 51%, respectively, vs. Control. In conclusion, under the study conditions, tree foliage from M. oleifera and L. leucocephala are suitable fibrous ingredients to be included up to 150 g/kg in the diets of growing rabbits, and can safely replace 50% of berseem hay in diets of NZW rabbits without any adverse effect on their growth performance. Foliage from M. oleifera had a better potential as a feed for rabbits than that from L. leucocephala. Although foliage from A. saliga may be also used at 150 g/kg in the diets of growing rabbits, this level of inclusion may result in reduced feed digestibility and growth performance.

“…Highest pH level of inocula incubated with Eichhornia crassipes suggests low level of nonfibrous carbohydrate in this forage. Increased DMD of Moringa oleifera demonstrates its superior nutritive value which can be attributed to its relatively high CP, low NDF and ADF contents [37,38]. Okunade et al [24] previously attributed higher in vitro DMD of Afzelia africana fodder relative to other browse fodders to its lower NDF and ADF contents.…”

a b s t r a c tThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of different dose levels of aguamiel (Agave atrovirens) on in vitro cecal gas, methane (CH 4 ), and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) productions of five forage species (Avena sativa [hay]), Moringa oleifera, Caesalpinia coriacea, Salix babylonica, and Eichhornia crassipes using inocula from the horse. The forage samples were incubated with three doses of aguamiel: 0, 34, and 68 mg of aguamiel/g dry matter (DM) of substrate. Cecal inocula were collected from four adult female Criolla horses (3-4 years of age and weighing 300 AE 15.0 kg) grazed on native grasses for about 8 hours without supplementation. Forage type affected (P < .001) cecal asymptotic, rate and lag time of gas, CH 4 and CO 2 productions (mL/g DM), pH and DM degradability. Aguamiel dose had linear and quadratic effects (P < .05) on the asymptotic and rate of CH 4 productions and rate and lag time of CO 2 productions (mL/g DM). Forage type Â aguamiel dose interactions were significant (P < .05) for asymptotic, rate and lag time of gas, and CH 4 and CO 2 productions (mL/g DM). Forage species effects were pronounced (P < .05) on CH 4 and CO 2 productions (mL/g incubated and degraded DM) and proportional CH 4 production at all hours of incubation, except for CO 2 production (mL/g incubated DM). Aguamiel dose affected (P < .05) CO 2 production (mL/g incubated DM) and proportional CO 2 production at the incubated hours. Forage type Â aguamiel dose interactions were observed (P < .05) for CO 2 production (mL/g incubated DM) and proportional CO 2 production at the incubated hours but had no impact on CH 4 production. It is concluded that addition of aguamiel to five forage species affected fermentation kinetics of gas production resulting in different in vitro cecal gas, CH 4 and CO 2 productions from these substrates.
