“…Raw samples presented 0.014 % glycosides and ranged between 0.010 and 0.032 % in roasted samples, which implies that roasting does not extensively destroy the cyanogenic glycosides. It is notable that the average percentage of content of glycosides in seeds is relatively low and is found to be lower than that found in raw seeds of Senna obtusifolia (Ingweye et al, 2010), leaves' extract of Teleferia occidentalis (Ekpenyong, Akpan, & Udoh, 2012) and Tanzanian locally available leaf and oil seed meals used as poultry feed ingredients (Mutayoba, Dierenfeld, Mercedes, Frances, & Knight, 2011). Results of samples' oxalate content presented in Table 1 clearly show that cooking, including roasting, has a minute effect on the oxalate's content of food.…”

Senna occidentalis seeds were roasted at varying temperatures of 190, 210 and 230°C each for 10, 15 and 20 min. Phytochemicals of the roasted seeds were determined using standard methods. The phytochemicals analysed were tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, oxalate and phenolics. Phytochemicals are compounds hypothesized for much of the disease-protection provided by diets high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, cereals and plant-based beverages. This study has clearly shown that roasting time and temperature have significant effects on the seed parameters analyzed. There was an increase in tannin, alkaloid, saponin and phenolic contents and a decrease in the contents of flavonoids and oxalates.

“…The saponin contents observed in raw and roasted coffee senna seeds were lower than the values reported for raw (7.20 %) and fermented (6.71 %) Cassia tora (Adamu, Ushie, & Elisha, 2013) and for raw (3.26 %) and roasted (7.23 %) coffee-like baobab seed (Innocentia et al, 2014). The values were also lower than the ones stated for grain legumes (Khokhar & Apenten, 2003), raw S. obtusifolia (Ingweye, Kalio, Ubua, & Umoren, 2010) and all medicinal plants investigated by Edeoga, Okwu, and Mbaebie (2005) and by Aliyu, Musa, Oshanimi, Ibrahim, and Oyewale (2008). Flavonoids are beneficial phytochemicals.…”

“…Senna obtusifolia seed is one of such alternative that has been neglected in feeding poultry. The proximate composition of the seed as reported by Ingweye et al (2010) has revealed that it has protein content of 29.54%, which suggests that it may be a good feed source for poultry. Senna obtusifolia seed contains some anti-nutritional factors such as tannins and alkaloid which will affect the digestibility and utilization of nutrients (Augustine et al, 2014).…”

Nutrient digestibility and growth performance of broiler chickens fed processed tropical sicklepod (Senna obtusifolia (L.)) seed meal based-diets

The eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the nutrient digestibility and growth performance of broiler chickens fed raw or processed Senna obtusifolia seed meal (SOSM). Six experimental diets were compounded to contain 0% SOSM and 20% each of the raw, boiled, soaked, sprouted and fermented SOSM respectively. Two hundred and sixteen (216) broiler chicks were randomly allotted to six (6) dietary treatments in a randomised complete block design with three (3) replicates containing 12 chicks each. Data were collected on nutrient digestibility, feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio and mortality. The result of productive performance indicated that feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio were significantly (P<0.05) depressed in broiler chickens fed raw, soaked and sprouted Senna obtusifolia seed meal. However, broiler chickens fed fermented SOSM showed better (P<0.05) productive performance that was close to those fed the positive control diet (0% SOSM). The mortality rate did not reveal any particular trend. However, the low mortality rate recorded in the different treatments indicated broiler chicken can tolerate up to 20% of either raw or processed SOSM. Broiler chickens fed raw SOSM recorded lower values for dry matter (63.06%), crude protein (52.46%), ether extract (53.88%), crude fibre (30.72%) and nitrogen-free extract (46.11%) digestibility than those fed the other processed SOSM. The nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens fed fermented SOSM was significantly (P<0.05) better followed by those fed boiled Senna obtusifolia seed meal. For instance, broiler chickens fed fermented Senna obtusifolia seed meal recorded the highest crude protein and ether extract of 69.91 and 70.03% compared to the other processing methods. It can be concluded that 20% fermented SOSM can be incorporated in the diets of broiler chickens with Augustine Clement et al. 372 acceptable depreciation in biological performance. Slightly lower levels of boiled SOSM can be included in the diet of broiler chickens but the levels should be ascertained in further studies.
