“…Also, AYB seeds were reportedly used to fortify food products, including breakfast meals, biscuits, and cereal flour [15][16][17]. AYB seeds are likewise crucial in the nutrient enrichment of animal feeds when used solely or combined with nutrient supplements [6,18]. However, despite its immense potential for food, nutrition, and resilience to adverse environmental conditions, AYB is neglected, which could be attributed to constraints, including seed hardness [19][20][21], prolonged cooking time [6,22,23], and abundance of antinutrient factors (tannin, phytate, and oxalate) [5,7,10].…”

African yam bean has immense food and nutrition potential and is resilient to adverse environmental conditions. Despite its potential, the crop is underutilized, which could be attributed to seed hardness (requiring about 6–24 hours of cooking time); and the abundance of antinutrient factors (tannin, phytate, and oxalate). This study evaluated the physical (seed hardness, cooking time) and chemical compositions (crude protein, tannin, phytate, and oxalate) of 93 AYB accessions grown in Ethiopia. The seed hardness of each accession was determined by the compression force and compression time using Texture Analyzer, whereas cooking time was ascertained using Mattson Bean Cooker. The accession’s crude protein level, tannin, oxalate, and phytate were investigated from flour samples using standard laboratory procedures. Highly significant ( P < 0.01 ) differences were observed for cluster means of compression force, cooking time, and oxalate. The accessions were grouped into three clusters: cluster-II was prominent with 42 accessions, while cluster-I had the least (25). The mean values for compression force ranged from 50.05 N ± 10.25 (TSs-423) to 278.05 N ± 13.42 (TSs-378) whereas compression time varied from 0.35 secs ± 0.02 (TSs-334) to 5.57 secs ± 6.12 (TSs-62B). Cooking time ranged from 127.50 mins ± 2.12 (TSs-82A) to 199.50 mins ± 10.61 (TSs-138B); crude protein ranged from 15.41% ± 0.11 (TSs-269) to 24.51% ± 0.22 (TSs-446). Tannin ranged from 0.61 mg/g ± 0.02 (TSs-47) to 9.62 mg/g ± 0.03 (TSs-334) likewise, phytate ranged from 0.28 ± 0.01 (TSs-137) to 7.01 ± 0.10 (TSs-3). Accessions TSs-55; TSs-82 showed the lowest oxalate content of 0.21% ± 0.01; 0.21% ± 0.00, respectively. Similarly, TSs-352; TSs-47 revealed the most abundant tannin content of 0.70 ± 0.00 and 0.70 ± 0.07. The correlation analysis revealed a low positive and significant ( P < 0.05 ) association (r = 0.24) between protein and phytate content.

“…Rabbit is considered one of the most productive animals whose feeding habit is less competitive with humans compared to chicken [1]. Rabbit is an alternative animal protein source, which can alleviate the animal protein consumption deficiency among people in poorer countries of the world, due to its low cost of production occasioned by higher feed conversion ratio from cheaper feedstuff, higher prolificacy and short generation intervals [2].…”

Novel feedstuffs have great potential for sustainability of the livestock industry because they minimize cost of production and increase availability of animal products. This study was conducted to assess the usefulness of Mango fruits Rejects Meal (MFRM) as a feed ingredient for rabbits. MFRM was incorporated into rabbit diets at 0, 22, 28, 34 and 40 % levels respectively, replacing maize in equal amounts to evaluate its effect on growth performance, carcass characteristics internal organs and economics of production of rabbits. Twenty (20) weaner rabbits with average weight of 392.75 g were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments of four replicates each in a completely randomized design (CRD) and fed for 70 days. Feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ration were evaluated. Also, three rabbits were randomly selected from each group, starved of feed, stunned and slaughtered for carcass and organ evaluation at the end of the study.

“…Furthermore, Ojuederie and Balogun (2019) and Onuoha et al . (2020) suggested adding tubers and seeds in animal feeds. Despite AYB's potentials, the crop is constrained by hard to cook grains (Ojuederie and Balogun, 2017), requiring 4–6 cooking hours, the long-maturity cycle of 8–9 months, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors (tannin, oxalate and phytate) (Ajibola and Olapade, 2016; Adegboyega et al ., 2020).…”

African yam bean (AYB) is an affordable protein source capable of diversifying the food base in sub-Saharan Africa. However, research efforts made towards the crop's improvement and in expanding production are limited. This study characterized 169 AYB accessions at Jimma, Ethiopia, using 31 phenotypic characters. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant (P < 0.01) differences for days to 50% flowering, days to first flowering, leaf area, number of seeds per pod, pod length, seed thickness, total seed weight, petiole length and significant (P < 0.05) difference for terminal leaf length. Accession TSs62B produced the highest number of seeds per pod (17.65) and recorded the highest 100 seed weight (25.30 g), while 3A was the earliest to flower at an average of 84.50 d. Principal component analysis (PCA) of qualitative traits attributed 77.6% of observed variations to the first five principal components, of which the first two PC axes accounted for 53.6% of total variations. Cluster analysis and PCA biplot distinctly grouped the accessions into two major groups, cluster I had the highest number of accessions (108). The analytical approaches used confirmed considerable diversity across the germplasm with a distance matrix ranging from 0.37 to 0.85. The extent of diversity reflected in the current study provides breeders the baseline information to design breeding strategies, which might help identify materials for release as variety or parental lines for hybridization programmes.
