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

Moringa (Moringa oleifera) Bitkinin Kimyasal Özellikleri ve Yem Degeri

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırmada; Moringa oleifera bitkisinin farklı kısımlarının (yapraklar, saplar ve tüm bitkinin (yapraklar + saplar) kimyasal bileşimlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Materyal ve Metot: Bu amaçla Moringa oleifera 5 aylık yaştaki ilk çiçeklenme döneminden başlayarak 1 ay aralıklarla 3 kez hasat edilmiştir. Moringa oleifera 'nın farklı kısımlarında kuru madde, organik madde, kül, ham protein, ham yağ, ham selüloz, nitrojensiz öz maddeler, nişasta, şeker, nötr deterjan lifi, asit deterjan lifi, asit deterjan lignini, hemiselüloz, selüloz, nispi yem değeri, geviş getiren hayvanlar ve kümes hayvanları için in vitro metabolik enerji, ayrıca yaprakta antioksidan aktivite, fenolik madde ve toplam flavonoid analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Organik madde ve ham kül hariç yapraklarda, saplarda ve bütünde (yaprak + sap) tüm parametrelerde hasatlar arasında önemli farklılıklar bulunmuştur (P<0.05).
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, Moringa oleifera' nın besin maddeleri içeriği ve yem değeri dikkate alındığında alternatif bir kaba yem kaynağı olarak önerilebileceği kanısına varılmıştır.
Anahtar sözcükler: Moringa oleifera, besin maddeleri, yem değeri
