Results of a two-year investigation (2005 and 2006) for the yield and quality of fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum graecum L) obtained on the location in South Banat (around Pancevo) on marsh dark soil are presented in the paper. Fenugreek seed used in this investigation was produced in the collection of the Institute of Medicinal Plant Research "Dr Josif Pancic" in Pancevo. The effect of sowing date on yield (kg/ha) and quality of fenugreek seed (germination energy and total germination) were investigated. Sowing was carried out on seven dates, 10 days between dates of each sowing. Yield of fenugreek seed sowed on different dates differed in both years. Sowing carried out in the first two weeks in April resulted in considerably higher yield compared to sowing at the end of April and during May. The highest yield was produced in the second sowing date from April 10, then in the first (April 1) and the third sowing period (April 20). The lowest yield of fenugreek seed was recorded in sowing carried out at the end of May. Yield of fenugreek seed wasn't significantly different in study years. Earlier dates of sowing resulted in seed of better quality (better germination energy and total germination). In the second sowing date fenugreek seed obtained was of best germination energy and total germination (approx. 99%). Later sowing dates gave seed of lower quality. So, sowing carried out at the end of May resulted in seed with the lowest value of germination energy and total germination (approx. 91%).

Abstract This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with garlic and turmeric powder as growth promoter agents on performance, carcass traits, serum biochemistry, and antioxidant enzyme activities of growing rabbits. A total of 112 New Zealand White rabbits (NZW) at 5 weeks of age were randomly assigned to seven treatments with four replicates. The dietary treatments consisted of 7 groups as follows; the basal diet as control, phytogenic additives groups were supplemented with 2, 4, and 6 g/kg garlic or turmeric powder added to the basal diet. There were no linear and quadratic differences (P<0.05) in growth performance after garlic or turmeric supplementation at all studied ages. Compared with the control group, supplementation of diets with garlic or turmeric linearly and quadratically elevated immunity biomarkers such as total protein (TP), albumin (AL) and immunoglobulin (IgG) levels and decreased (linearly and quadratically, P<0.05) aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT ), triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels in rabbit serum. However, TP, AL, globulin (GL), IgG and IgM levels were linearly and quadratically enhanced with increasing turmeric levels versus the control diet. Hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT ) and glutathione peroxidase GSH-Px activities as well as reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations were linearly and quadratically (P<0.05) improved in garlic or turmeric additives fed groups. While MDA concentration was statistically (linearly, P= 0.022) reduced in comparison with the control group. It could be concluded that garlic or turmeric supplementation (2, 4 and 6 g/kg) did not linearly and quadratically affect growth performance but improved the immunity responses and lowered the lipid profile in blood and lipid peroxidation in liver and increased hepatic antioxidant activity in treated rabbits.

Abstract The proportion of stunting in children under 5 years old in Indonesia was approximately 30,8% in 2018. One of the things that is presumably related to the occurrence of stunting is lack of nutrition that can be attributed to exclusive breastfeeding. Fenugreek seeds have properties as laktogoga and moringa leaves in addition to having efficacy as lactagoga, also have advantage in nutritional content, particularly high protein content, groups of minerals and vitamins. The aim of the study was to assess the potential of the formula fenugreek seed extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum L) and moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lamk.) as a supplement to release milk while at the same having nutrient content. Methods using the test weighting method in pregnant female rats by measuring the volume of milk taken by baby rats. Test were carried out on five groups of mother rats namely groups than were given : fenugreek and moringa extract (1: 1) with different doses I, II and III; comparison group (moloco) and control group (distilled water). Each mother fed five rats, provision of extract was carried out starting the first day after the mother gave birth, and measurement were take on 6th, 11th, 16th to 21st day The volume of milk consumed by five rats was counted as difference of body weight after and before breastfeeding. Moringa nutritional assessment is carried out using standard methods on, iron, calcium and potassium content; vitamin A and vitamin C content and protein level. Fenugreek-moringa extract (1: 1) dose of 30 mg/200g bb, can increase the volume of breast milk of female rat larger than the untreated group (p≤0.05). The cumulative weight gain of rat infants was greater than the control group (p≤0.05), according to the nutrients obtained from the fenugreek-moringa extract. Moringa leaves as a component of extract, have high nutritional value of minerals, vitamins and proteins and have advantages as lactogogum. Conclusion: The administration of moringa leaf and fenugreek seed extract (1: 1) dose of 30 mg / 200 g bb in breastfeeding female rats has a 2.4 times greater potential in increasing milk expenditure compared to breastfeeding female rats who did not get the same extract. Fenugreek-moringa extract has superior potential as laktagogum and at the same time a high nutritional supplement. Abstrak Proporsi kejadian stunting pada anak usia di bawah 5 tahun (balita) di Indonesia tercatat sekitar 30,8% pada tahun 2018. Salah satu hal yang diduga berkaitan dengan terjadinya stunting adalah gizi kurang yang dapat dikaitkan dengan pemberian air susu ibu (ASI) eksklusif. Biji klabet memiliki khasiat sebagai laktagoga dan daun kelor selain mempunyai khasiat sebagai laktagoga, juga mempunyai keunggulan pada kandungan gizinya, terutama kandungan protein yang tinggi, golongan mineral dan vitamin. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menilai potensi formula ekstrak biji klabet (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) dan daun kelor (Moringa oleifera Lamk.) sebagai suplemen pelancar pengeluaran air susu sekaligus memiliki kandungan nutrisi yang tinggi. Metode menggunakan test weighting method pada tikus betina hamil, dengan cara mengukur volume air susu yang diminum oleh bayi tikus. Dilakukan uji pada lima kelompok induk tikus yaitu: kelompok yang diberi ekstrak klabet dan kelor (1:1) dengan dosis I, II dan III yang berbeda; kelompok pembanding (moloco) dan kelompok kontrol (akuades). Tiap induk tikus menyusui lima ekor anak tikus. Pemberian bahan uji dilakukan mulai hari pertama setelah induk tikus melahirkan, dan pengukuran dilakukan pada hari ke-6, 11, 16 sampai 21. Volume air susu yang diminum lima ekor anak tikus dihitung sebagai selisih berat badan sesudah dan sebelum disusui induknya. Penilaian gizi kelor dilakukan menggunakan metoda standar, terhadap kandungan mineral besi, kalsium dan kalium; kandungan vitamin A dan vitamin C, serta kadar protein. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ekstrak klabet-kelor (1:1) dosis 30 mg/200g bb, dapat memperbanyak pengeluaran volume air susu induk tikus lebih besar dari kelompok yang tidak diberi perlakuan (p≤0,05). Pertambahan berat kumulatif bayi tikus, lebih besar dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (p≤0,05), sesuai dengan gizi yang didapat dari ekstrak klabet-kelor. Daun kelor sebagai komponen ekstrak, mempunyai nilai gizi mineral, vitamin, dan protein yang tinggi serta memiliki keunggulan sebagai laktogogum. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah pemberian ekstrak biji klabet-daun kelor (1:1) dosis 30 mg/200g bb pada tikus betina menyusui mempunyai potensi 2,4 kali lebih besar dalam meningkatkan pengeluaran air susu dibandingkan kelompok tikus betina menyusui yang tidak mendapatkan ekstrak yang sama. Ekstrak biji klabet-kelor mempunyai potensi unggul sebagai laktagogum dan sekaligus suplemen dengan gizi tinggi.
