“…[14] The 44.0% oil content obtained for Hevea brasiliensis was in good comparison with 42.64-50.00% of earlier workers. [15][16][17][18][19] Hura crepitans oil value of 47.8% was quite close to the 48.1% value for cashew nut obtained by earlier workers [20] while the oil content of 48.3% obtained for Khaya ivorensis was higher than the 45.50% oil content reported for Khaya senegalensis. [21] Jatropha curcas oil content (36.7%) was lower than the amount (45.88%) earlier reported [22] for the same seed.…”

Seeds of Cucumeropsis edulis, Hevea brasiliensis, Hura crepitans, Jatropha curcas, Khaya ivorensis and Citrus sinensis were evaluated for their proximate composition, chemical properties and fatty acid profiles. The moisture contents of the seeds ranged from 5.3 to 9.0% while the oil content was between 32.5% for Cucumeropsis edulis and 48.3% for Khaya ivorensis. The ash content ranged between 3.6 and 5.0%. Protein content ranged from 15.8 to 45.9% while the fibre value was in the 8.2-20.5% range. Carbohydrate content varied between 2.4 and 15.4%. The seeds were rich in potassium (349.0-468.6 mg/g of seed) and magnesium (83.7-150.19 mg/g of seed). The extracted oils had saponification value between 202.0 and 210.4; iodine value, 75.6 to 148.2; peroxide value, 4.7 to 13.3; and unsaponifiable matter content, 0.7 to 1.7%. The major fatty acids identified were oleic (14.6-72.1%) and linoleic (10.6-96.3%). Hura crepitans oil was characterized by a high content of linoleic acid (96.3%). The fuel value (Hm) of the extracted oils ranged from 8276.6-8433.2 kJ/kg.

“…Since the ME depends on CP, digestible carbohydrates (starch and sugar) and total lipids, and autoclaving has very little effect in the digestion of legume starch and sugar (Longstaff and McNab, 1987) and no significant effect on total lipids, this increase in AME could only be from the increase in the CP digestibility (P = 0.017). Whereas Oluyemi et al (1975) reported a 102% (8.16 -16.58 MJ/kg) improvement of AME by autoclaving, when they fed bambara groundnut to growing chicks, in this study, autoclaving improved the AME by about 5% (11.4 -12.0 MJ/kg DM).…”

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterannea)--a leguminous root nut, which grows in the tropics and subtropics--was used in an experiment to test its effect on the performance of growing broiler chicks. Performance was measured by monitoring growth, measuring nutrients and energy balances and also by determining nutrient accretion. Twelve-day old broiler chicks, kept in individual metabolic cages, were used in an experiment in which birds were equally allotted (n = 10) into a control (fed high performance diet made up principally of wheat and soybean meal) and 6 test groups fed diets containing 19, 76 and 95% raw or autoclaved bambara groundnuts. All diets were similar in energy, nitrogen and total lipid contents. Diets were also balanced for amino acids, vitamins and minerals in accordance to the specific requirements of the birds. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. Growth performance was monitored over 15 days. Nutrient and energy balances were measured by use of TiO2 as marker. The comparative slaughter technique was implored for the determination of energy and nutrient accretion. The results showed that the level of raw or autoclaved bambara had no significant influence on feed intake. Increasing the bambara level in the diets caused a general linear drop in the performance of the broilers. However, with up to 95% bambara in the diet, the general performance was still above 75% compared to the control. Increasing levels of bambara groundnut caused a decrease in the metabolizability of energy and efficiency of utilisation of ME for BWG. The animals retained more water with increasing levels of raw bambara in the diets while autoclaving increased their DM content to levels comparable to the control. The protein composition of gain was comparable at all levels of inclusion. In general autoclaving improved the performance of bambara.

“…The addition of solubles to menhaden fish meal was without effect on energy content of utilization, although Chu and Potter (1969) observed that the MEn of fish solubles alone was apparently higher than for fish meal. The MEn values for menhaden fish meal obtained herein agreed with the higher values reported by Potter et al (1962) but were greater than those observed by Oluyemi et al (1976).…”

The Metabolizable Energy Content of Wheat and Animal Products for the Chick

et al. 1980

The nitrogen corrected metabolizable energy (MEn) and nitrogen content of wheat, menhaden fish meal with and without solubles, and ring dried blood meal were determined. The WS-3 hard red spring wheat was grown in North Dakota (I), Oregon (II), and the Imperial Valley in California (III) and WS-1 hard red spring wheat was also grown in Oregon (IV) during the same year. The nitrogen levels of I, II, III, and IV were 3.0, 2.6, 2.3, and 2.6% on a dry matter basis. Differences occurred by location grown but not by variety. The MEn levels were 3.46, 3.47, 3.48, and 3.44 kcal/gdry matter for I, II, III, and IV. These values were 78, 79, 80, and 79% of the gross energy (GE). The nitrogen content of menhaden fish meal (MFM), 11.0%, was less (P<.05%) than that of menhaden fish meal with solubles (MFMS) which was 11.3%, dry matter basis. The determined MEn values of MFM and MFMS on a dry matter basis were 3.14 and 3.12 kcal/g of dry matter, or 67 and 68% of GE. An animal protein blend contained 11.1% nitrogen and 3.12 kcal/g of dry matter which was 68% of GE. These values were similar to those obtained for MFM and MFMS. Ring dried blood meal contained 15.8% nitrogen on a dry matter basis, indicating it contained 98.75% protein, assuming N X 6.25 equals crude protein. It contained 3.81 kcal MEn/g of dry matter which was 61% of GE.
