“…The ash, fat, and crude fibre contents were marginally reduced in both the FALB and UALB. The proximate composition obtained in the RALB is similar to the reports of Akoma et al, (2001), Omafuvbe et al (2004) and Ari and Ayanwale (2012). The CP obtained in the RALB is close to the 30.6% reported by Eka (1979).The increase in the CP in the FALB is similar to the findings of Odebunmi et al (2009) and Tortora et al (2002) who attributed significant (p < 0.05) increase in CP of fermented locust beans to structural proteins that are integral part of the microbial cells.…”

“…The alkaline phosphatase was higher (p < 0.05) in hens fed 100% UALB and 50% UALB diets. The increases in the RBC, PCV and WBC in hens fed FALB based diets are similar to the findings of Ari and Ayanwale (2012) when broiler chickens were fed with fermented African locust bean. The values of alanine transaminase, aspartate trasaminase, alkaline phosphatase and serum total protein obtained in the birds fed UALB based diets are similar to the values reported by Ologhobo et al(1993), Aletor and Ogunyemi(1988) and Aletor and Fetuga (1984) who linked increased activities of hepatic transaminases in rats fed some raw legumes to high catabolism of amino acids and liver cell damage as a result of the inherent anti-nutritional factors.…”

“…Moist heating has been established as a convenient means of eliminating trypsin inbitor and heamagglutinin activities in grain legumes (Emiola et al, 2003;Ologbobo et al, 1993;Udedibie and Carlini, 1998). Fermentation method of processing locust beans was able to considerably reduce tannin, oxalate, saponinns and phytate (Omafuvbe et al, 2004;Ari and Ayanwale, 2012) .…”

The study was carried out to compare the effects of unfermented and fermented African locust bean on laying performance, haematology and serum biochemical profile of hens in a twelve week feeding trial. The unfermented African locust bean (UALB) contained seeds that were dehulled and boiled in water, without going through fermentation. The fermented African locust bean (FALB) contained seeds that were dehulled, boiled in water and made to undergo natural fermentation for 4 days. One hundred, 40-week old, laying hens (Nera black) were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments in which UALB and FALB replaced soybean meal at 50% and 100% levels. Trypsin inhibitor (TI) activity was higher in the raw African locust beans (RALB), but no trace of the TI was contained in the UALB and FALB. However, higher residual amounts of tannin (38.10 mg/g) and phytate (2.80 mg/g) were obtained from the UALB. Egg weight and hen day production were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in birds fed 100% UALB. Haemoglobin was similar (p > 0.05) across the groups of hens. The packed cell volume, red blood cells and white blood cells were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in hens fed 100% UALB. Alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in birds fed 50% UALB and 100% UALB respectively. Marginal differences were however obtained in all the response indices between hens fed the control diet, 50% FALB and 100% FALB respectively. It was therefore concluded that fermentation was a better processing method for optimal utilization of Africa locust beans in diets of laying hens.

“…The competitive demand for conventional plant protein origin (soybean meal and groundnut cake) has led to a high cost of livestock in Nigeria. Hence, the need for additional protein supplies to promote sustainable monogastric livestock for least cost formulation and production (Ari and Ayanwale, 2012). One of such legumes is Parkia biglobosa, which is commonly known as African locust bean.…”

The high cost of soybean meal, and competition as food between human and animal have necessitated search for alternative plant protein source in poultry diet. Eight weeks trial was carried out on the evaluation of fermented locust bean meal (FLBM) as replacement for soybean meal (SBM) in broiler production. Ninety days old broilers were allotted randomly to three treatment diets, replicated three times with 10 birds per replicate. Diets I (control) did not contain FLBM, diets II and III had 50 and 100% FLBM inclusions respectively as replacement for soybean meal in both starter and finisher phases. At the end of finisher phase, 4 birds were randomly selected per replicate for analyses of blood samples and evaluation of internal organs and carcass characteristics. At starter phase, body weight was not significantly affected (P>0.05) by treatment diets among experimental groups. The feed intake was lower in diet III, and feed conversion ratio was better in diet I significantly (P<0.05). Mortality of birds on diet III was higher significantly (P<0.05). At the finisher level, broilers fed diet I had higher weight gain and better feed conversion ratio, which was significantly (P<0.05) similar to diet II. The packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin, red blood cell and platelets of birds fed diet II were significantly (P<0.05) higher when compared to those fed diets I and III and were within normal range for healthy birds. Blood serum showed that glucose, aspartate transaminase, cholesterol and creatinine of birds fed diet III were significantly (P<0.05) higher than others. Measurement of organs revealed that liver, lungs, intestine, gizzard and heart of those fed diets II and III were significantly (P<0.05) similar and smaller than the control with no traces of inflammation. Conclusively, FLBM could replace up to 50% SBM in broiler diet without adverse effect on the production performance.

10842Design, performances optimization and validation centered on users requirements for African locust bean seeds dehusker "Parkia biglobosa" ABSTRACT Objectives: The dehulling of precooked locust bean seed is a hard work for women producers of afitin (also called dawadawa, iru, soumbala). The aim of this study is to develop a high-performance huller of pre-baked locust bean seeds, optimization and validation of its performance according to the user-centered approach. Methodology and results: The optimization is carried out by means of a factorial experimental design. The values of the characteristic variables retained being those of the traditional method of dehulling, due to the qualities of its final product. The obtained results, under optimal running conditions (speed: 666 rpm, hopper opening diameter: 116 mm), showed that, apparatus output performances met the established compulsory criteria by African locust bean seeds processors into afitin for dehusker adoption. At these optimum conditions, the equipment has the following performances: dehulling index (0.91), shelling rate (96.27%), breakage rate (1.47%), shelling yield (50.35%), hourly capacity (773 kg/h). Conclusions and application of the result: The results confirm the excellent performance delivered by the realized dehuller. Performance parameters appear quite interesting and optimum values and in line with the aspirations expressed by the women before its adoption. This equipment, better than the traditional method, significantly improves the quality work of locust bean seeds transformers into afitin. Thus, the optimum value of the husking rate to the grate speed of 666 rpm and the diameter of the hopper 116 mm is equal to 96.27%. These process conditions lead to a breaking rate of cotyledons is 1.47 ; less than 70% that of the reference value. One of the crucial requirements of African locust beans processors is satisfied at this level. In the same trend, it is noted that the optimal value of the hulling yield is 4.16% higher than that of the reference value (48%). This study allows us to offer an efficient dehuller the processors. This equipment must be disseminated.
