Abstract

Monechma ciliatum leaves are widely used as hay for animal nutrition and in traditional medicine for treatment of various ailments. The leaves were analyzed for proximate, minerals and anti-nutritional content using standard analytical methods. The results showed that the leaves contain moisture (84.09±0.81%), ash (14.00±0.50%), crude protein (5.34±0.15%), crude lipid (4.14±0.29%), crude fibre (3.02±0.29%), available carbohydrate (73.50±0.51%), and calorific value (352.63±1.42 kJ/100g). The mineral analysis of the leaves (mg/100g) revealed the presence: sodium (367.61±3.18 mg/100g), potassium (931.59±10.70 mg/100g), magnesium (213.77±2.31 mg/100g), calcium (2444.60±43.70 mg/100g), phosphorus (10.99±0.12 mg/100g), copper (1.19±0.39 mg/100g), iron (73.03±1.65 mg/100g), manganese (5.33±0.25 mg/100g), zinc (4.74±0.17 mg/100 g), and chromium (2.93±0.59 mg/100g). It also contains oxalate, tannins and phytic acid as anti-nutrients. The study showed that the leaves of M. ciliatum contain substantial levels of nutrient which could be useful in animal diet, with considerably low levels of anti-nutritional content which is below established toxic level.

毛蕊草叶片的营养与抗营养分析

纤毛草的叶子被广泛用作动物营养的干草，在传统医学中用于治疗各种疾病。用标准的分析方法分析了叶片的近似值、矿物质和抗营养成分。结果表明:叶片含水量(84.09±0.81%)、灰分(14.00±0.50%)、粗蛋白质(5.34±0.15%)、粗脂肪(4.14±0.29%)、粗纤维(3.02±0.29%)、有效碳水化合物(73.50±0.51%)、发热量(352.63±1.42 kJ/100g)。叶片矿物分析(mg/100g)显示:钠(367.61±3.18 mg/100g)、钾(931.59±10.70 mg/100g)、镁(213.77±2.31 mg/100g)、钙(2444.60±43.70 mg/100g)、磷(10.99±0.12 mg/100g)、铜(1.19±0.39 mg/100g)、铁(73.03±1.65 mg/100g)、锰(5.33±0.25 mg/100g)、锌(4.74±0.17 mg/100g)、铬(2.93±0.59 mg/100g)。它还含有草酸、单宁和植酸作为抗营养物质。研究表明，纤毛虫叶片含有大量的营养物质，可用于动物饲料，具有相当低的抗营养成分，低于既定的毒性水平。
