“…However, the Crude Protein (CP) content was higher than those (23% and 21.3% DM) obtained respectively by Onibi et al (2008) and Hussain et al (1991) and was inferior to those (28-29% DM) reported by Munguti et al (2006), Farinu et al (1992) and D' Mello and Fraser (1981). Ash content and Metabolizable Energy (ME) are relatively higher than those obtained by most of these authors.…”

“…If the CP content of Cassia leaves (27.4% DM) was globally comparable to those obtained by several authors on Moringa (Kalinganire et al, 2007;Reyes and Fermin, 2003;Fuglie, 1999), Leucaena (Munguti et al, 2006;Akbar and Gupta, 1985) and Sesbania leaves (Brown et al, 1987), their low ME is mainly due to their high CF and ash contents. Indeed, Cassia leaves are poor in EE and ME, but well supplied in CF and ash, particularly in calcium compared to the composition of Moringa (Kakengi et al, 2007;Ndong et al, 2007;Soliva et al, 2005;Foidl et al, 2001;Makkar and Becker, 1996), Leuceana (Onibi et al, 2008;Munguti et al;Reyes and Fermin, 2003;Hussain et al, 1991;Satyanarayana Reddy et al,1987;D'Mello and Fraser, 1981), Gliricidia (Ige et al 2006;Odunsi et al, 2002), Centrosoma (Nworgu and Fasogbon, 2007) or A. pinnata leaves (Alalade and Iyayi, 2006;Basak et al, 2002;Becerra et al, 1995;Tamang and Samanta, 1993). Nutrients content of Moringa leaves in this study were globally comparable to those obtained by Olugbemi et al (2010a;2010b), Kalinganire et al (2007), Foidl et al (2001), Fuglie (1999) and Makkar and Becker (1996).…”

This study was carried out to assess the nutrient composition of some unconventional and local feed resources available in Senegal so as to use them as protein supplement sources in the diets of indigenous chickens to enhance their productivity. Ten (10) unconventional and local ingredients from Senegal including leguminous leaves (Leuceana leucocephala, Cassia tora, Moringa oleifera, Adansonia digitata, Sesbania rostrata), cucurbit (Citrullus vulgaris) and roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) seeds, red and white cowpea (Vigna unguiculata seeds) and cockroaches (Blatta orientalis) were collected, sun-dried, processed into meal and analyzed for their chemical and macro-mineral composition using internationally established procedures. The results showed that the samples Dry Matter (DM) percent ranged from 89.3% (red cowpea) to 94.9% (C. vulgaris). The Crude Protein (CP) content ranged from 24.7% (white cowpea) to 61.9% (cockroaches meal), with A. digitata leaves having the lowest value (12.9%). Citrullus and Hibiscus seeds meal recorded the highest (38.8% and 18.9%) Ether Extract (EE) values, followed respectively by cockroaches (11.1%), Moringa (9.8%), Leuceana (6.4%) and Sesbania leaves meal (5.1%), while the others were below 4.5%. The crude fiber (CF) content was globally high in the leaves, ranging from 11.7% (M. oleifera) to 16.8% (C. tora) while that of seeds and cockroaches ranged from 1.9% (white cowpea) to 19% (Citrullus seeds). A. digitata leaves gave the highest ash content (25.2%), followed by Cassia (15.2%), Moringa (13.6%), Leuceana (11.4%) and Sesbania leaves (7.1%), while the others were below 5.6%. The metabolizable energy (ME) value calculated for seeds and cockroaches meal ranged from 3161 kcal/kg DM (cockroaches) to 4270 kcal/kg DM (C. vulgaris) and that of leaves from 1873 (A. digitata) to 2888.9 kcal/kg DM (M. oleifera). Cassia leaves contained the highest level of calcium (3.1%), followed by Adansonia and Leuceana (1.81%), Moringa and Sesbania leaves (1.41%), whilst cockroaches, Hibiscus and Citrullus seeds meal recorded respectively 0.93, 0.81 and 0.55% of phosphorus. These results showed that all the ingredients samples contained appreciable quantities of all dietary nutrients tested for which more or less make them partial or complete substitutes for the conventional feed sources.

“…Sirriet al (2010) suggested that evaluation of broiler pigmentation or yellowness could be ascertained on any part of the chicken's body, which means colour of broiler skin could be deduced from results of shank pigmentation. Onibi et al (2008) reported that shanks better depicts intensity of pigmentation in broiler chickens. In this study, there was an increase in shank pigmentation with increase in NLM inclusion although it was not significant.…”

The many benefits of all parts of neem (Azadirachta indica) tree are well documented. Thus, this study was done to ascertain the effects of sundried neem leaf meal (NLM) on growth performance, shank pigmentation and blood profile of broiler chickens. One hundred and forty four day-old chicks were randomly distributed after 1 week pre-experimental period to four experimental diets which comprised NLM at 0% (control), 5% (5NLM), 10% (10NLM) and 15% (15NLM). A completely randomized design was adopted with 12 birds per replicate and 3 replicates per treatment. Feed and water were given ad-libitum and other management practices were carried out. Initial weight of chicks and final weights at the end of the starter and finisher phases were taken. Feed intake was measured weekly and feed conversion ratio (FCR) calculated. Shank pigmentation was assessed from 3 birds/ replicate at the end of the trial. Blood samples were collected from 3 birds/ replicate at the end of the starter and finisher phases. For the starter phase, final weight, total weight gain and FCR were significantly influenced by NLM inclusion. Chicks fed control and 5NLM diets had similar higher values than others. Blood parameters were not significant except basophil values. At the finisher phase, total weight gain and FCR were not significantly different although feed intake significantly reduced with inclusion of NLM in the diets. Blood parameters were not significant except lymphocyte values. There was a non-significant increase in shank pigmentation with increase in NLM inclusion. It is concluded that NLM inclusion in broiler diets at both phases should not exceed 5% based on growth performance. Neem leaf meal increased yellow colouration of shank and was not harmful to broiler blood parameters.

“…Amongst those resources, Leucaena can play an important role when included in the diets of egg-laying hens (Safwat et al 2014 ). L. leucocephala leaves contain 23.3% DM of crude protein, 11.4% DM ash, 2573.8 kcal/kg DM metabolizable energy, 0.38% calcium, 2.9% phosphorus and 1.6% tannins (Onibi et al 2008 ; Ayssiwede et al 2011 ; Garcia et al 1996 ). The plant age or stage of maturity also has substantial effect on the plant nutritional composition (Buxton 1996 ), whereby an increase in age of the plant has always been associated with an increase of cell wall.…”

The objective of the study was to determine the apparent digestibility and nutrient composition of Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal (LLM) inclusion in Black Australorp and Potchefstroom Koekoek diets. Tender and mature leaves were separately harvested from 10 individual trees and stored separately for chemical analyses. The leaves were air-dried in a well-ventilated laboratory to constant weight and milled to pass through a 1-mm sieve. A mixture of tender and mature leaves was also collected to produce a bulk leaf meal. The four iso-nitrogenous dietary treatments were 0 (control), 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% of LLM, respectively. The apparent digestibility of two chicken breeds was also evaluated. The dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), ether extract (EE), cellulose and hemicellulose of the samples did not differ between tender and mature leaves. Tender leaves had higher (P < 0.05) calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium concentration than mature leaves. Crude protein and mimosine content were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in tender than in mature leaves. The inclusion levels of L. leucocephala leaf meal affect (P < 0.05) acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and crude protein (CP) digestibility. Crude protein digestibility decreases as the inclusion levels of L. leucocephala increase. Both tender and mature L. leucocephala leaves have a potential nutritional value that can be used in feedstuff and can be used as a protein supplement for Black Australorp and Potchefstroom Koekoek chicken breeds.
