Résumé

African grape (Lannea microcarpa) dried leaf meal was evaluated for chemical and anti-nutritional factors. The results of chemical analysis showed that LM dried leaf meal has high crude protein (18.05%), dry matter (92.60%), crude fibre (26.68%), ether extract (33.75%), low ash (5.13%), nitrogen free extract (16.39%), acid detergent fibre (29.80%), neutral detergent fibre (48.50%), organic matter (87.48%) and hemicelluloses (18.70%). Results of anti-nutrients contents showed that LM dried leaf meal has high flavonoids (2.25 ± 0.15g/100g), alkaloids (1.71 ± 0.34g/100g), low tannins (0.26 ± 0.05g/100g) and saponins (0.32 ± 0.06g/100g). The various anti-nutrients contents investigated in LM dried leaf meal were within tolerance level. The results obtained for chemical
composition is an indication that LM dried leaf meal can be used as feed supplement for ruminants particularly during the dry season when feed resources are scarce.
