Senna obtusifolia (Chinese senna, American sicklepod or sicklepod) is a legume in the genus Senna, sometimes separated in the monotypic genus Diallobus.It grows wild in North, Central, and South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and is considered a particularly serious weed in many places. It has a long-standing history of confusion with Senna tora and that taxon in many sources actually
The study evaluated the nutritive value of seeds of wild Senna obtusifolia plants as an alternative plant protein source in livestock diets. Proximate composition results showed high dry matter
KEYWORDS: Senna obtusifolia, feedstuff, digestibility, anti-nutrition, liveweight, sheep. were analysed for proximate composition using the methods of AOAC (1990). The proximate composition in the feaces subtracted from the intake gives an approximate measure of digested
Jan 12, 2010 The study evaluated the nutritive value of seeds of wild Senna obtusifolia plants as an alternative plant protein source in livestock diets. Proximate composition results showed high dry matter (92.50%), crude protein (29.54%) and crude fiber (10.18%), but low ether extract, nitrogen free extract, ash and calorific values. The vitamin content results showed poor vitamins B 2, B 1, C and A but
Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate the proximate composition, amino acid profile and levels of anti-nutritional factors of Senna obtusifolia seeds subjected to varying fermentation periods. The seeds of Senna obtusifolia were naturally fermented for 0, 3, 5, 7 and 9 days, respectively. Each representative sample was analysed in triplicates
Apr 01, 2014 Senna obtusifolia has high potential as a fish feed ingredient though it has low protein composition but with processing the protein composition tend to be improved to the level of protein based diet. The protein content also has a high quality of amino acid especially the commonly limiting amino acid in plant feedstuff.
Proximate composition and amino acid profile of the seed was determined using AOAC method. Senna obtusifolia has relatively low crude protein (11.55%) but high fat content (8.00), crude fibre (14
Total fat content was highest in Senna obtusifolia (2.05 ± 0.07 g), and Acalypha bipartita (1.32 ± 0.10 g) while the tender leaves of Vernonia amygdalina, Asystasia gangetica, Corchorus trilocularis, Senna obtusifolia, Asystasia mysorensis and Hibiscus acetosella were highest (7.49–38.62g/100g) in carbohydrates contents.

Abstract. This study was aimed to assess the effect of season, habitat and leaf age on proximate composition of leaves of Senna occidentalis L. and S. obtusifolia L. Leaves samples were collected from stands of Fadama Research Farm and Upland (Biological garden) at Permanent Site, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto and analyzed for nutrient contents using oven drying, muffle furnace
Abstract: Cassia obtusifolia L. leaves, a top ranking leafy vegetable of the arid Africa zone were analysed for proximate (moisture, ash, lipid, crude protein, crude fibres, total carbohydrates, total phenolic compounds) and mineral (calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and manganese) composition. The leaves collected in the North of Cameroon, were dried (sun drying and oven drying
Leaves were col-lected from three regions. Then, proximate analyses and micronutrients were carried out to evaluate their nutritional values. Results revealed that protein level of S. obtusifolia (SO) is richer (21.75%) than Leptadenia hastata (LH) (18.16%). The cellulose and carbohydrate contents of the two vegetable’s leaves are in the same

composition of unpalatable forbs and a lower-proportion composition of palatable herbaceous plant species in sites heavily invaded by Senna obtusifolia (L.) may indicate the severe competitive effect of S. obtusifolia on rangeland eco-systems. This leads to the disappearance of annual and per-ennial grasses used as major feed resources (Zimmerman
