Assessment of Nutritive Value of Annona Senegalensis Leave as a Potential Feed Resource in the Livestock Production
Journal Title: Journal of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Animal Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
TThe leaves of the majority of the browse plants have been recognized as livestock feed as a result of their high carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and mineral contents; therefore they can be considered a reliable feed resource. In view of this, Annona senegalensis leaves were studied for their nutritional content in the current work. The study of the nutritive value of Annona senegalensis leave, via the proximate; mineral; vitamin compositions, and Phyto-chemical content was accomplished by the use of standardized analysis methods. The result of the proximate composition shows that the sample contained 7.40% moisture, 2.05% ash, crude fiber 32.78%, 2.69% crude protein, 1.98% fat and oil, and 53.10% carbohydrates, mineral content of the sample indicates that calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, lead and iron values were 0.66%, 4.68%, 3.12%, 22.16, 1.88, 0.10 and 0.21. The phytochemical content in the sample indicates the existence of saponin, tannin, steroid, flavonoid, and glycoside. Based on the obtained result it is concluded that the leaves of Annona senegalensis are rich and a good source of carbohydrates; crude fiber; crude protein; some minerals, and vitamins Therefore, can be used as a potential livestock feed.
