“…This might be because the BSOC used in this study was decorticated/dehulled. This technique is known to reduce fibre and anti-nutritional factors and increase CP and energy values (Igboeli et al, 1997;Belawu & Ibikunle, 2009;Madzimure et al, 2011;Khajali & Slominski, 2012). According to Axe (1995), particle size and feed form influence bird performance.…”

The effects of increasing dietary inclusion levels of baobab seed oilcake (BSOC) on the growth performance, carcass characteristics, and yield in Ross 308 broiler chicks were assessed. Dietary treatments (T) consisted of four levels of BSOC: T1, control (0% BSOC); T2, 5% BSOC; T3, 10% BSOC; and T4, 15% BSOC. Birds on T2 and T1 had the highest bodyweight (BW) on days 14 and 28, respectively. Feed intake (FI) was highest during the periods of 1 to 7 days and 15 to 21 days in T2 birds. From 15 to 21 days, Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was highest in T3 birds. Significant differences were noted in slaughter and carcass weights among the treatments. Although no significant differences were observed in dressing percentages among treatments, birds in T1 had a higher dressing percentage, followed by those on T2. There were no statistical differences in carcass yield among the treatments. Calculations for revenue and gross margin showed that feed costs were lower in T4 and higher in T2 in the starter phase. In in the grower phase, feed costs were lower in T4 and higher in T3. The gross margin was higher in T1 and lower in T2 in the starter phase. During the grower phase it was higher in T1 and lower in T4. It was concluded that the inclusion of 5% BSOC at most could improve growth performance. Additionally, increasing levels of BSOC reduced feed costs, with a reduction in the gross margin in the grower stage of broilers. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…In the past decade, different parts of the baobab tree have been reported to be useful and this has attracted the interest of pharmaceutical companies and scientists. This is due to its various traditional uses as medicinal, nutritional and cosmetic plant (Igboeli, Addy, & Salami, 1997;Wickens & Lowe, 2008;Buchmann, Prechsler, Hartl, & Vogl, 2010;Kamatou et al, 2011). Recently, the European Commission authorized the importation of baobab fruit pulp as a novel food for human consumption (Buchamann et al, 2010).…”

“…Various plant parts such as leaves, bark, and fruit pulp have been traditionally used as immuno-stimulant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and pesticide, and in the treatment of fever, diarrhoea, cough, dysentery, haemoptysis, tuberculosis, microbial infection and worms (Wickens & Lowe, 2008;Kamatou et al, 2011;Vermaak et al, 2011). The seeds are used as roasted snacks, fermented and used as a thickening and flavouring agent in soup (Igboeli et al, 1997). The oil extracts are used as food, fuel, medicine, cosmetic applications and topical treatment of various conditions such as dandruff, muscle spasms, varicose veins and wounds (Chivandi, Davidson, & Erlwanger, 2008;Kamatou et al, 2011;Vermak et al, 2011).…”

Moulds and associated mycotoxins, especially aflatoxins, are important factors that advesely affect food and feed produced from contaminated plant and animal prodcuts. They are lethal to humans and animals, which emphasizes the great concern in food and feed production. In this study, the effects of baobab (Adansonia digitata) extracts on the vegetative growth and aflatoxin secretion by A. flavus (SQU21) and A. parasiticus (CBS921.7) strains were exzmined. Different concentrations of baobab fruit extract (1.5, 3, 5, and 7% w/v) and essential oil (0.5, 1, 3 and 5% v/v) was used. Fruit extract of baobab apparently inhibited the total aflatoxin secretion up to 20.4-68.5% for A. flavus and 11.9-69.1% for A. parasiticus, whereas the inhibition of aflatoxin B 1 production ranged between 29.9-79.2% and 13-68% for the two strains, respectively. The highest inhibition levels of total aflatoxin and aflatoxin B 1 secretion by A. flavus (47.2-95.7%; 28.1-89.7%) and A. parasiticus (42.7-93.3%; 25.9-80.2%) were obtained with essential oil extracted from baobab seeds. The two extracts significantly reduced the vegetative growth and the mycelial dry weights of selected fungi. This indicates the antifungal activity and inhibitory effect of baobab on the growth and aflatoxin production by the two toxigenic strains. Thus, fruit extract and essential oil of A. digitata can be suggested as potentially effective biocontrol and biopreservative substrates against food and feed contamination by aflatoxigenic moulds.

“…The bark produces strong fibers used in making ropes, mats, bags and hats. The smooth fibers of the inner side of the bark are more important than the outer bark for weaving (Igboeldi et al, 1997). Baobab contains a number of substances usually employed for the treatment of numerous diseases in the African traditional medicine and for that reason it is also named "the small pharmacy" (Obizoba and Anyika, 1994).…”

The present investigation was carried ct of stem bark of Adansonia digitata extracted using three solvents, the chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC) analysis. GC-MS analysis revealed compound, distinct peak, retention emical structure and area%. With 2) components were identified in extracts. The HPLC analysis shows different compounds with distinct peaks and their retention times. The presence of various compounds confirms the us digitata for the treatment of various ailments by traditional system of medicine.
