Nutrient Content of Pig Feed Based Local Feed Mixed with Liquid Fermentation Products from Moringa and Azadirachta indica Leaf Extracts

/in /by

This research aims to determine the nutritional content of rations based on local feed mixed with liquid Moringa leaf extract and fermented Azadirachta indica as pig feed. The research materials used were Moringa leaves and Azadirachta indica which were extracted and liquid fermented as well as local rations. In this study, an experimental method was used with a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment in this study was R0; ration without liquid fermented extract, R1; ration + 10% liquid fermented extract, R2; ration + 20% liquid fermented extract, R3; ration + 30% liquid fermented extract, R4; ration + 40% liquid fermented extract. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance. Based on the research results, the crude protein content (%) R0; 13.90±0.40, R1; 15.02±0.12, R2; 17.73±0.88, R3; 19.20±0.29, R4; 20.22±0.41, crude fiber content (%) R0; 7.10±0.18, R1; 6.90±0.27, R2; 6.85±0.39, R3; 7.08± 0.17, R4; 7.04±0.14, non nitrogen free extract content (%) R0; 48.69±1.88, R1; 49.42±0.48, R2; 47.54±0.79, R3; 46.14±0 .79, R4; 45.34±0.72, gross energy content (kcal), R0; 3524±45.55, R1; 3620±26.77, R2; 3698±19.24, R3; 3742±10.88, R4; 3770±31, 28. The results of statistical analysis showed that the treatment had a significant effect of P<0.05 on crude protein, non nitrogen free extract, energy content, but had no significant effect of P>0.05 on crude fiber content. The conclusion of this research is that the addition of fermented Moringa leaf extract and Azadirachta indica liquid to local pig rations has an effect on increasing protein and energy content with an average increase in protein content of 3.36% and energy of 107.73 kcal. for each increase, add 250 ml of liquid Moringa leaf extract and fermented Azadirachta indica to the local ration.

The Concentrations of Cholesterol and Reproduction Hormones in Serum of Rabbits Doe That Consumed Moringa oleifera Leaf Extracts

/in /by

This study was conducted to examine the effect of various kinds of Moringa leaf extracts on cholesterol, estradiol, FSH, LH levels and litter size in rabbit does. The extracts used were hexane fraction extract (HeEF), ethanol fraction extract (EtEF) and ethanol rough extract (EtCE) from moringa leaf flour. Seven treatments were administered including extracts in pellets at a dose of 0, 0.13% HeEF, 0.26% HeEF, 0.37 EtEF, 0.74% EtEF, 0.54% EtCE and 1.08% EtCE. Each treatment was reduplicated on 4 rabbits. Cholesterol levels, estradiol, LH and FSH blood serum, mating readiness and litter size were measured, which results showed that the treatment significantly (P <5%) lowered the cholesterol level and increased the estradiol level in blood serum. On the other hand, the treatment had no significant effect on FSH, LH and litter size levels except at LH levels 2 hours after mating.
