Chemical Characteristics and Feed Value of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) Plant

Abstract

Objective: The experiment was conducted to determine chemical compositions of different parts of Moringa oleifera [leaves, stalks and whole (leaves + stalks). Material and Methods: For this purpose, Moringa oleifera was harvested 3 times with 1 month of intervals starting from the first flowering period at 5 months old. Dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, nitrogen free extract, starch, sugar, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose, relative feed value, in vitro metabolic energy for ruminant and poultry of different parts of Moringa oleifera , also antioxidant activity, phenolic substance and total flavonoid of leaves were analysed, Results: There were significant differences among harvests in all parameters in the leaves except for organic matter and ash, stalks and whole (leaves + stalks) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Consequently, it is concluded that Moringa oleifera can be recommended as an alternative source of forages considering nutrients content and feed value. Keywords: Moringa oleifera, nutrients, feed value
