Moringa Oleifera Oil Modulates Rumen Microflora to Mediate In Vitro Fermentation Kinetics and Methanogenesis in Total Mix Rations

The presence of resistant starch in chewed banana and vascular fibres in chewed mango, have greater effects on microbial fermentation kinetics than particle size.

Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa oleifera Lam is an Indian plant with applications in the agricultural and medical fields. The assets development capable of increasing the efficiency of sunscreens, mainly those of plant origin, due to their natural benefits, represents an increasing demand for cosmetology. The present study aims to identify by CG-MS the constituents of the most active oil and to evaluate the photoprotective capacity of Moringa oil, and its action in sunscreen formulations. Extracts of the oils from the Moringa seeds were evaluated for the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) observing the highest result for the dichloromethane extract. This extract showed low cytotoxic potential for human fibroblasts and it was incorporated into a sunscreen. The extract increased the SPF of the sunscreen and its effect may be related to fatty acids identified by GC-MS. The results showed the benefit of Moringa oil as a vegetable active in the sunscreen formulations by increasing the SPF of sunscreens in a natural and sustainable way.

Kinetics Of

When forage in vitro digestibilities are determined on different occasions, they can be different and this is generally related to differences in rumen liquor from which the microbial inoculum was obtained. Experiment 1 of the present study, using rumen liquor only, investigated whether fermentation kinetics of forages as determined by in vitro gas production assays (Theodorou et al, 1994) made on different occasions are repeatable. It was argued that kinetics of fermentation were likely to be more sensitive to quality of rumen micro-organisms than digestibility assessment.In previous experiments (Barbi et al, 1993, 1994a 1994b) to minimize the reliance on fistulated animals in feed evaluation, RUSITEC fluid was used to replace strained rumen liquor as the inoculum for the gas production method (PTT) of Theodorou et al (1994). Experiment 2 investigated whether the day-to-day repeatability of gas production assays using RUSITEC fluid was comparable to that using sheep rumen liquor.
