“…The highest tocol content (110.82 mg/100 g) was found in the Barhi seed oil, whereas the Khalas cultivar showed the lowest content (44.73 mg/100 g). The average tocol content of the date seed oils was 70.75 mg/100 g, higher than that of olive oil and peanut oils (23.39 and 66.73 mg/100 g, respectively; Mokbli and others in press; Nehdi and others ), and slightly lower than POs (76.77 to 84.36 mg/100 g). Tocotrienols ( α ‐T3 + γ ‐T3) and tocopherols ( γ ‐T + α ‐T) are the predominant vitamin E homologs in the date seed oils (Table ), accounting for 49.25% and 41.16%, respectively, of the total tocols.…”

This study showed that date seed had great nutritional value due to which it can be used for food applications especially as frying or cooking oil. In addition, date oil has also potential to be used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical practices as well. The extraction of oil from Phoenix dactylifera seed on large scale can create positive socioeconomic benefits especially for rural communities and could also assist to resolve the environmental issues generated by excess date production in large scale date-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia.

“…Residue of leucaena forage in the form of twigs and stems are collected by the farmers and are used as firewood and poles for construction. Another function of L. leucocephala was reforestation, poles for construction, firewood, shade in permanent plantations, traditional medicine (Nehdy et al, 2014), pulp production (Lopez et al, 2008), green manuring (Sharma & Behera, 2010), and in wood production (Prasad et al, 2011). Forages given to cattle were collected from their own garden or around the yard.…”

This field study was aimed to evaluate the availability and the utility of forage on Bali cattle in Amarasi system in dry land area such as Kupang. Amarasi system is a fattening production system (paronisasi), which traditionally utilizes Leucaena leucocephala forage in dry season of Amarasi region. This field study was conducted during the period of July to December 2013 in Oesena and Merbaun Villages. The method used in this research was field survey. This type of survey was used to identify the forage availability and utility for Bali cattle; including determining the level of feed intake, measuring carrying capacity of both observe villages, and recording body weight of cattle. Cluster random sampling was applied in this study to determine sample used in the research, those were two villages with different altitudes, namely Oesena Village and Merbaun Village. Data were analyzed descriptively to describe the related existing conditions in the field. T-test was conducted to determine leucaena consumption and Bali cattle body weight in both villages. The results showed that during observation period, availability of leucaena forage for cattle was low based on dry matter intake 3.60 and 3.58 kg/head/day, which led to low consumption of cattle. Nevertheless, the use of leucaena in this system increased average body weight gain of Bali cattle up to 0.77 kg/day, due to high crude protein consumption. The conclusion of this study was the availability of leucaena as Bali cattle feed did not meet the cattle needs, but the use of leucaena increased the average of Bali cattle body weight gain.Key words: amarasi system, Bali cattle, Leucaena leucocephala, paronisasi ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi ketersediaan dan penggunaan hijauan pakan sapi Bali pada sistem Amarasi di lahan kering. Sistem amarasi adalah sebuah sistem penggemukan (paronisasi) ternak sapi Bali yang khas berbasis pakan hijauan lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) pada musim kemarau di wilayah Amarasi. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli sampai dengan Desember 2013 di Desa Oesena dan Desa Merbaun Kabupaten Kupang Propinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei lapang untuk mengidentifikasi hijauan pakan ternak yang terdapat di kandang, mengukur tingkat konsumsi pakan ternak, besarnya kapasitas tampung pada kedua desa dan pertambahan bobot badan ternak sapi Bali. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan menggunakan cluster random sampling. Dua desa dengan ketinggian berbeda dipilih, yaitu Desa Oesena dan Desa Merbaun. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk menggambarkan kondisi di lapangan. Uji t dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai bobot badan konsumsi lamtoro pada kedua desa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai konsumsi lamtoro, yaitu 3.60 dan 3.58 kg/ekor/hari serta kapasitas tampung di dua desa yang rendah, namun pertambahan bobot badan sapi Bali meningkat hingga 0.77 kg/ekor hari yang disebabkan oleh tingginya konsumsi protein kasar. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ketersediaan lamtoro sebagai pakan sapi Ba...

“…Native to Central America, Leucaena can be found in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world (LIM, 2012;NEHDI et al, 2014) and is often used as forage for livestock (PRASAD et al, 2011;PANDEY & KUMAR, 2013). Leucaena exhibits anthelmintic properties against both H. contortus (OLIVEIRA et al, 2011) and Trichostrongylus colubriformis (CUNHA et al, 2003).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of protein extracts obtained from the plant Leucaena leucocephala on the nematode parasite Haemonchus contortus. The seeds, shell and cotyledon of L. leucocephala were separated and their proteins extracted using a sodium phosphate buffer, and named as TE (total seed extract), SE (shell extract) and CE (cotyledon extract). Soluble protein content, protease, protease inhibitory and chitinase activity assays were performed. Exsheathment inhibition of H. contortus larvae were performed at concentrations of 0.6 mg mL . The effective concentration for 50% hatching inhibition (EC 50 ) was estimated by probit. Different proportions of soluble proteins, protease and chitinase were found in TE and CE. Protease inhibitory activity was detected in all extracts. The EC 50 of the CE and TE extracts were 0.48 and 0.33 mg mL -1 , respectively. No ovicidal effects on H. contortus were detected in SE extracts, and none of the protein extracts demonstrated larvicidal effects on H. contortus. We therefore conclude that protein extracts of L. leucocephala had a detrimental effect on nematode eggs, which can be correlated with the high protease and chitinase activity of these extracts.Keywords: Plant proteins, protease, protease inhibitor, chitinase. ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade anti-helmíntica de extratos proteicos de leucena (Leucaena leucocephala) sobre Haemonchus contortus. As sementes, as cascas e os cotilédones foram moídos separadamente e as proteínas extraídas com tampão fosfato de sódio e denominados: TE (extrato total), SE (extrato casca) e CE (extrato cotilédone). O teor de proteínas, atividade proteolítica, inibitória de protease e quitinolítica dos extratos foram verificados, além da ação sobre a eclosão de ovos e desembainhamento larvar de H. contortus. A concentração efetiva para inibição de 50% da eclosão dos ovos (EC 50 ) foi calculada através do probit. Foi demonstrado que TE e CE possuem, em diferentes proporções, proteínas solúveis, protease e quitinase. Atividade inibitória de protease foi encontrada em todos os extratos. A EC 50 dos extratos CE e TE foram 0,48 e 0,33 mg de proteína mL -1 , respectivamente. O extrato SE não apresentou atividade sobre a eclosão dos ovos. Os extratos proteicos não apresentaram efeito larvicida sobre H. contortus. Conclui-se que a ação de extratos proteicos de L. leucocephala afetam negativamente a eclodibilidade dos ovos, correlacionando-se com a alta atividade de protease e quitinase dos extratos testados.Palavras-chaves: Proteínas vegetais, protease, inibidor de protease, quitinase.
