Feeding has become a major concern among livestock farmers today, especially in developing countries. The study was focused on the effect of inclusion of forage leaf meal (Moringa oleifera plus Centrosema pubescence in 50:50 ratio) at varying levels (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5%), represented as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively on haematological indices and serum biochemistry of broiler chickens.Parameters studied were packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin, white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC) and platelet count for haematological indices while albumin, globulin, protein, cholesterol, urea and glucose were studied for serum biochemistry. Result indicated that haematological parameters were significantly influenced by leaf meal inclusion. The PCV, haemoglobin, white blood cell and red blood cell value increased as percentage of leaf meal inclusion increased. However, there was a significant difference on platelet count among all treatments with birds fed (7.5%) level of inclusion recording the highest and the control treatment (0%) inclusion recording the lowest. Serum biochemistry also showed increase in all parameters investigated in accordance to increase of leaf meal inclusion, except for globulin where T3 (5.0%) leaf meal inclusion diet was significantly higher in birds fed at T4 (7.5%) leaf meal inclusions rate.

A notification from WhatIF F&I Pte Ltd (Singapore) has been submitted to the European Commission under Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 to place on the market dried seeds and flour thereof of Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc. as a traditional food from a third country (TF). In line with Article 15(2) of that Regulation, EFSA was asked by the European Commission whether there are duly reasoned safety objections to the placing on the market of the TF within the European Union (EU). The TF consists of dried seeds and flour thereof of Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc. (bambara groundnut) that have been consumed for more than 25 years in Africa. The TF is proposed to be marketed in the EU as dried seeds and flour thereof. EFSA considers that the available data on composition and history of use of the TF do not raise safety concerns. Considering the available data, EFSA does not raise safety objections to the placing on the market of the TF (dried seeds and flour thereof of Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) within the EU.

Abstract. A feeding trial was conducted for 16 weeks to evaluate the effects and cost-benefits of feeding raw or processed Senna obtusifolia (S. obtusifolia) seed meal based-diets on the laying performance of ISA brown laying hens. Six experimental diets were compounded to contain 0% S. obtusifolia seed meal (T1) and 20% each of the raw, boiled, soaked, sprouted and fermented S. obtusifolia seed meals designated as T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6, respectively. One hundred and eighty (180) ISA brown laying hens aged 36 weeks were housed in battery cages (5 birds/0.95m2) and assigned to the six (6) dietary treatments in groups of thirty (30) birds in a completely randomized design. Each replicate cage contains 10 laying hens. Data were collected on feed intake, hen-day egg production (HDEP), hen-house egg production (HHEP), egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion ratio per egg mass, feed cost per kilogram, feed cost per egg mass and mortality. The results indicated that the group of laying hens fed raw S. obtusifolia seed meal based diet recorded the lowest HDEP (52.42%), egg weight (53.08g) and egg mass (2782.45g). Among the hens fed the processed S. obtusifolia seed meal based diets, the laying hens fed the fermented S. obtusifolia seed meal based diet indicated significantly (p<0.05) better HDEP (64.05%), egg weight (58.45g) and egg mass (3743.72g). On economic grounds, the use of raw S. obtusifolia is not cost effective because feed cost per kilogram egg was relatively high (N317.47 or $0.82) in the group of laying hens fed raw S. obtusifolia seed meal based diet. However, the processed S. obtusifolia seed meal based diets showed some economic advantage. In conclusion, 20% of fermented S. obtusifolia seed meal can be incorporated in the diets of laying hens with little or no depreciation in laying performance and economic-benefits.
