Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa is used for human and animal consumption due to its high content of proteins, vitamins and minerals. The present study analyzed and evaluated the effectiveness of Azospirillum spp. over the nutritional content of moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) under nursery conditions. The experimental design consisted of four treatments with six repetitions in complete blocks at random, which consisted of the inoculation at 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mL of suspension with 9.8 × 105 CFU mL-1 of Azospirillum spp. The study variables: biomass, protein, macro (P, K. Ca and Mg) and micronutriments (Na, Fe, Cu and Mn) in leaves and stems were determined 70 days after sowing. The analysis of variance showed signif icant statistical differences between treatments only for the variables: potassium content in leaves and calcium content, iron and sodium in stem. According to the comparison of means (P ≤ 0.05) the best treatments were those that received 0.5 and 1 mL of suspension. The inoculation of Azospirillum, failed to increase the dry weight and protein contents; however, the highest values (30.2% crude protein) were associated with its application. The absence of significant effects in the other variables evaluated is associated with inoculum concentration, however, higher values are shown in the nutrient contents in relation to results reported in other research.

Abstract  Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam) is one of the potential local feed ingredients of broiler rations due to its nutrient contents such as carbohydrate (57,01%), crude protein (30,30%), crude fat (2,74%) as well as a source of vitamin C, carotenoids and flavonoids. This study aimed to determine the effect of using different levels of Moringa oleifera Lam leaf meal (MOLM) in basal ration on plasma metabolites, including total cholesterol (TCHO), triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU), and total protein (TP). The research design of this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. The treatments were 4 levels of MOLM (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%), in basal ration. The parameters measured were TCHO, TG, Glu, and TP of in blood plasma. The results showed that inclusion of MOLM up to 15% of in basal ration very significantly (P<0.01) lowering levels TG and decreasing Glu. However, the inclusion of MOLM had no effect (P>0.05) on TCHO and TP. It is concluded that moringa leaf flour addition to the basal ration up to 15% could be used to decrease plasma metabolites especially TG and GLU in broiler chickens.  Key words:Broilers; Moringa oleifera meal; total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose  and total protein   Abstrak  Daun kelor (Moringa oleifera Lam) merupakan salah satu bahan pakan lokal yang berpotensi dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan penyusun ransum ayam ras pedaging karena mengandung nutrisi yang tinggi diantaranya karbohidrat (57,01%), protein kasar (30,30%), lemak kasar (2,74%) dan sebagai sumber vitamin C, karotenoid serta flavonoid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan beberapa level tepung daun kelor  dalam ransum basal terhadap plasma metabolit ayam ras pedaging yang meliputi total kolesterol (TCHO), trigliserida (TG), glukosa (Glu) dan total protein (TP). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan dan lima ulangan. Perlakuan yang diberikan terdiri dari 4 level tepung daun kelor di dalam ransum basal yakni 0%, 5%, 10% dan 15%. Parameter yang diukur meliputi TCHO, TG, Glu dan TP pada plasma darah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan tepung daun kelor hingga 15% dalam ransum berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) menurunkan kadar TG dan berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) menurunkan Glu. Akan tetapi, pemanfaatan tepung daun kelor hingga 15% tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap TCHO dan TP. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah penggunaan tepung daun kelor dalam ransum basal hingga 15% dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menurunkan plasma metabolit khususnya TG dan Glu pada  plasma darah ayam broiler.   Kata kunci : Ayam ras pedaging; tepung daun kelor; plasma metabolit

Moringa Oleifera Lam

Moringa oleifera Lam., commonly found tree in sub-Himalayan tracts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has a high nutrition value. The leaves, flowers and immature pods of Moringa are used as a vegetable in many countries. The leaves are highly nutritious and medicinal in nature. They are a rich source of iron, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, proteins, and essential amino acids. Hence Moringa leaves can be a good source of protein for the vegetarians and the under-nourished population. Present investigation deals with the study of monthly variation in the nutritional value of Moringa leaves from the month of June 2015 to January 2016. Impact of urban sewage pollution and roadside vehicular pollution on the amount of reducing and total sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total), proteins, vitamin-C and pH of the leaves, was also studied. Results revealed that the highest amounts of reducing sugars, total sugars, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll during October 2015 whereas proteins, chlorophyll a, vitamin C and pH were highest during January 2016. Leaf samples collected from all the study sites exhibited minimum amounts of reducing sugars, chlorophylls (a, b and total) and pH during July 2015 whereas total sugars were lowest during December 2015. Proteins and vitamin C values were lowest during August and June 2015 respectively. Sewage and vehicular pollution showed an adverse effect on the nutritional contents of Moringa oleifera leaves. Of the two polluted sites, samples from near the sewage flow showed higher impact.
