“…Studies conducted on MLs meal found crude protein (CP) content (171.4 g kg −1 DM) to determine performance, nutrient utilization, and carcass evaluation of growing rabbit [ 11 ]. ML protein was assessed for its efficacy as a fodder crop in the meals fed to animals such as rabbit and black Bengal goats [ 11 , 12 ]. ML is a good source of supplementary protein, vitamins, and minerals.…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Leaves: Nutritional Composition, Phytochemical Profile, and Health-Promoting Bioactivities

et al. 2021

Mangifera indica L. belongs to the family of Anacardiaceae and is an important fruit from South and Southeast Asia. India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and the Philippines are among the top mango producer countries. Leaves of the mango plant have been studied for their health benefits, which are attributed to a plethora of phytochemicals such as mangiferin, followed by phenolic acids, benzophenones, and other antioxidants such as flavonoids, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and tocopherols. The extracts from mango leaves (MLs) have been studied for their biological activities, including anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-obesity, lipid-lowering, hepato-protection, and anti-diarrheal. In the present review, we have elaborated on the nutritional and phytochemical profile of the MLs. Further, various bioactivities of the ML extracts are also critically discussed. Considering the phytochemical profile and beneficial effects of the MLs, they can be used as a potential ingredient for the development of functional foods and pharmaceutical drugs. However, more detailed clinical trials still needed to be conducted for establishing the actual efficacy of the ML extracts.

“…Many tropical countries have used tree leaves to replace green fodder for goats (Onwuka and Akinsoyinu 1989) and have found very good digestibility values (Akbar and Alam 1991). Others have used the tropical leguminous tree L eucaena leucocephala as an alternative source of protein (Mtenga and Shoo 1990), but the majority of studies have been carried out on the feeding value of browse rangeland species (Meuret et al 1991 ; Kibon and 1993).rskov Cereal straw is still, however, widely used because of its abundance, and its poor nutritive value can be improved by chemical treatment.…”

Data are presented on the chemical composition and nutritive value of the leaves of the lemon (Citrus limon) and loquat (Eribotrya japonica) trees. Twenty‐four castrated male Murciano‐Granadina goats were used in 10 digestibility trials. The digestibility of untreated straw and straw treated with ammonia was measured in two trials, and in eight trials (4 trials×2 periods) lemon or loquat leaves were fed at levels of 25, 50, 75 and 100% in a diet with NH3‐treated barley straw. Crude protein (CP) contents were slightly higher for lemon tree leaves (11·2%), since the treated straw had a lower protein concentration (6·9%). CF, NDF and ADF contents in the leaves were lower than in the treated straw. Digestibility of OM and CP in treated straw was lower than in the leaves of either tree. In contrast, CF, NDF, ADF and cellulose digestibilities of the leaves were lower than that of NH3‐treated straw. The level of leaf inclusion in the diet significantly affected (P<0·05) DM, OM, CP and fibre digestibility, and DM intake. Diets including lemon leaves showed higher DM, OM, CP and NDF digestibilities than those with loquat leaves, but the DM intake was not affected (P>0·05) by the type of leaves. Results from the present study suggest that tree leaves can be used as a roughage source instead of NH3‐treated barley straw, with no adverse effect on intake or digestibility for goats. © 1998 SCI.

Tribal Way of Livestock Husbandry: An Ethnobotanical Survey of Purulia District, India in Search for Fodder Plants: Neutraceutical and Pharmaceutical Relevance

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the Purulia district, India in order to explore the use of plants as fodder as a part of the traditional livestock husbandry practiced by the aboriginal groups such as Santhal, Bhumija, Munda, Oraon, Birhor, Mal Paharya, Kharia, Kharwar, Gond and Ho. A total number of 103 informants (78 males and 25 females) were chosen for the interviews and 33 ethnobotanicals were reported as fodder plants for the domesticated animals. Poaceae and Moraceae represent maximum number of forage plants (6 each) whereas, leaves represent the most prolific plant part consumed by the animals. Aspects such as nutrient and anti-nutrient content, pharmacological and neutraceutical significance of the forage plants were added which reflects the scientific and economic aspects of such folkloric uses.
