“…Several studies noted that shea meal, despite its high protein content, has a low nutritive value for poultry due to saponins and tannins, and that the anti-nutritional effects can be reduced, but not removed, by fermentation or boiling with water (Atuathene et al, 1998;Dei et al, 2007Dei et al, , 2008. The current evidence suggests that shea meal has some, albeit very limited, potential as a feed supplement (Ansah et al, 2011).…”

Galloylated proanthocyanidins from shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) meal have potent anthelmintic activity against Ascaris suum

Proanthocyanidins (PA) from shea (Vitellaria paradoxa) meal were investigated by thiolytic degradation with benzyl mercaptan and the reaction products were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. These PA were galloylated (≈40%), contained only B-type linkages and had a high proportion of prodelphinidins (>70%). The mean degree of polymerisation was 8 (i.e. average molecular size was 2384Da) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) was the major flavan-3-ol subunit in PA. Shea meal also proved to be a potentially valuable source for extracting free flavan-3-ol-O-gallates, especially EGCg (575mg/kg meal), which is known for its health and anti-parasitic benefits. Proanthocyanidins were isolated and tested for bioactivity against Ascaris suum, which is an important parasite of pigs. Migration and motility tests revealed that these PA have potent activity against this parasitic nematode.

“…2003; Zhang et al, 2014). However, quercetin, cinnamic acid, theobromine or saponins were not detected in the meal, as these compounds had probably been co-extracted with lipids during the processing of shea nuts, or it could be a matter of variation between accessions or provenances (Atuathene et al, 1998).…”

“…It is increasingly available in large quantities for feeding animals and it has the potential to supply significant amounts of dietary protein and energy to poultry feeds in Western Africa. However, its utilisation in the diet is limited by the presence of high concentrations of anti-nutritive factors such as tannins and saponins (Annongu et al, 1996;Atuahene et al, 1998). The adverse effects of these anti-nutritive factors in shea nut meal can be minimised by hot water treatment (Okai et al, 1995), but this also gives a considerable loss of dry matter.…”

“…This product is largely regarded as a waste material in Ghana and usually disposed of by incineration (Ansah et al 2011). There have been some trials in Ghana using shea nut meal in feeds for pigs (Rhule 1995(Rhule , 1999Okai and Boateng 2007), poultry (Atuahene et al 1998;Dei et al 2008;Zanu et al 2012), sheep (Konlan et al 2012) and rabbits (Ansah et al 2011). Aside a few works in Ghana and Nigeria, there is very little published information on the use of shea nut meal in fish diets.…”

“…Prah (2012) reported a significant increase in crude protein content of shea nut meal from 13.6 to 20.0 % with crude fibre content reducing from 5.2 to 3.89 % after 8 weeks of fermentation with the macrofungus Pleurotus ostreatus. Shea nut meal contains several ANFs including phenolics, tannins, saponins and alkaloids (theobromine) and must be processed before utilisation as animal feed (Atuahene et al 1998;Dei et al 2008). Various methods to detoxify sheatnut meal have been proposed, including hot water treatment (Okai et al 1995), fermentation (Dei et al 2008) and NaOH treatment (Annongu et al 1996).…”

Local agro-industrial by-products with potential use in Ghanaian aquaculture: a review

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The inability of Ghana's capture-based fisheries to meet national demand has placed aquaculture in an advantageous position to satisfy this supply deficit. The majority of fish farmers in Ghana, however, resort to local feed mixtures, occasionally in combination with commercial aquafeeds, demonstrating that the sector has not yet reached its full potential in terms of production volumes and efficiency. Fish meal is available in limited quantities and is prohibitively expensive in Ghana, making it essential to develop suitable complete and supplementary diets using low-cost and locally available plant by-products for use in fish grow-out facilities, particularly in tilapia production, which accounts for over 80 % of aquaculture production. This review thus identifies local agro-industrial byproducts with potential use in fish feeds based on their nutritional composition, total annual production, competition for and seasonal availability and dynamics of these products as well as prices. The effects of dietary inclusions of these by-products on fish growth and feed utilisation are also reviewed. Based on the published works and other practical information reviewed, these by-products represent huge potentials as alternative aquafeed protein sources because of their abundance, very affordable prices and healthy nutritional profiles for fish growth. Although this review focuses on Ghana, it can also be of direct benefit to fish farmers, feed manufacturers, researchers and the policy-makers in other regions of the world where these crops and their resulting by-products are produced in commercial quantities.
