Abstract:
The high cost of conventional feed ingredients for livestock and competition between man and his animals, necessitate the need for alternative and under-utilized plant materials in poultry nutrition. However, in doing so, it is important to ensure that such plant materials are not deleterious to the animals. This research therefore examines the effect of bush buck (Gongronema latifolia) leaf extracts as dietary supplements on haematological and serum biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. Fresh leaves (6kg) of bush buck (Gongronema latifolia) were after rinsing with de-ionized water air-dried for ten (10) days under room temperature and were ground in a hammer mill to pass through 0.5mm sieve. It was thereafter dissolved in de-ionized warm water (40oC) at 1kg per 5 litres of water and was left to settle for 1 hour before decanting the supernatant. One hundred and ninety-two (192) broiler chicks, after brooding for two weeks were divided into six (6) dietary treatment groups of thirty two (32) birds each. Birds on dietary treatment 1, had no vitamin/mineral supplement in water, while dietary treatment 2 birds had supplemental commercial vitamin/mineral premix (vitalyte extra). Dietary treatments 3, 4, 5 and 6 had Gongronema latifolia leaf warm water extract in the following ratios; 25, 50, 75, and 100ml/litre of water respectively. The vitalyte extra was administered (5g/l) once a week while the birds had access to feed and water/GLLE ad libitum. On the last day of the experiment, blood samples were collected from the birds for haematological analysis. All the assayed parameters such as packed cell volume (PCV), white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), heterophil (H), lymphocyte (L), monocyte (M), eosinophil (E), basophil (B), haemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the dietary treatments. The analyzed serum biochemical indices such as total protein, albumin, globulin, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, sodium and potassium were generally better in the 25ml/l GLLE. Glucose was significantly reduced in the vitalyte treatment while total cholesterol, high and low density lipoprotein were least in the 50ml/l GLLE treatment. In conclusion, the results above revealed that the Gongronema latifolia leaf warm (40oC) water extract of 50ml/l was safer and supported better health and wellbeing of the broiler chickens. This shows that Gongronema latifolia leaf warm (40oC) water extract could be used to wholly replace the conventional vitamins and minerals (vitalyte extra) in broiler diets without any adverse effect on growth and health performance of the birds.

Abstract:
An experiment was carried out to evaluate effects of different dietary levels of Gongronema latifolia leaf meal (GLLM) on blood parameters and histopathology of broiler chickens. Fiv experimental diets were formulated. Diet 1 (control) contained 0% GLLM while diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 contained 2.5%, 5.0% 7.5 and 10.0% GLLM respectively. Each diet was fed to a group of 30 broilers (one week old) for 49 days. A dietary inclusion level of 10% GLLM significantly (P<0.05) reduced RBC concentration but had no significant (P>0.05) effect on other haematological indices. There was a significant (P<0.05) reduction of serum glucose at7.5% and10% and of AST at5%,7.5% and10%. Bilirubin increased significantly (P<0.05) 5%, 7.5, 10% and 2.5% dietary levels of GLLM. Other serum parameters were not affected (P>0.05) by the treatments. There were no indications of pathologic significance in the liver, kidney, proventriculus or pancreas. An inclusion level of 10% Gongronema latifolia leaf meal in diet can therefore support normal broiler production.

Abstract:
This study investigated rate of foliage production and root growth of&nbsp;<em>Gongronema latifolia</em>&nbsp;stem cuttings in Sharp Sand, Topsoil, Sawdust, and a mixture of Sharp Sand/Topsoil/Sawdust, with a view to identifying the best medium for its propagation. Sharp Sand was the only growth medium that produced leaves during the first week. Leaf production in Topsoil and Mixture started in the second week, while cuttings in Sawdust did not produce leaves until the fourth week. The highest number of leaves was produced in Sharp Sand, followed by Topsoil, Mixture, and Sawdust respectively. Mean weekly number of leaves produced varied significantly between Sharp Sand and the other growth media. There was no significant difference in mean weekly number of leaves between Mixture and Topsoil while it varied significantly between each of the two growth media and Sawdust. Mean values for length of both tap- and lateral- roots were highest for Sharp Sand, followed by Topsoil and Mixture respectively, while no root growth was observed in Sawdust. The study showed that sharp sand is the most suitable medium for the propagation of&nbsp;<em>Gongronema latifolia</em>&nbsp;using stem cuttings. However, Topsoil or a mixture of Sharp Sand/Sawdust/Topsoil can be used as alternatives when Sharp Sand is not readily available.

Abstract:
In attempt to search for lesser- known vegetable leaf plants that are nutritionally beneficial to man and his animals, the proximate composition, minerals and vitamins content of bush buck (Gongronema latifolia) were analysed. Fresh leaves (6kg) of bush buck were after air-drying and grinding divided into three (3) samples. Sample 1 was left as dried Gongronema latifolia leaf meal, sample 2 was dissolved in de-ionized cold water (20oC) at 1kg/5L of water, while sample 3 was dissolved in de-ionized warm water (40oC) at same quantity. Both samples (2 and 3) were left to settle for 1 hour before decanting the supernatants. The dried leaf meal and the supernatants were thereafter analysed. The results revealed that ash, crude protein, fat and crude fibre were higher in the dried leaf meal except for moisture content and nitrogen free extracts (9.26, 17.84, 4.15, and 42.56% respectively). Values for warm water extract were least except for moisture and nitrogen free extracts (5.88, 12.48, 2.66, 20.25, and 39.33% respectively). All the analyzed minerals (K, Na, Fe, Zn, Mg, Mn, Ca, P, Cu and Co) were higher in the dried leaf meal except molybdenum (Mo) which was not detected across the three samples. Similarly, results for vitamins depict that the values for dried leaf meal were higher than those of cold and warm water extracts; 978.650, 1.003, 0.998, 0.144, 0.201, 87.311 and 0.400 mg/g respectively for vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E. These results have further confirmed the high nutrients composition of bush buck, but care must be taken in heat processing to avoid excessive loss of the nutrients.

Abstract:
Studies were carried out to determine the chemical composition of the leaf meal of Gongronema latifolia (Utasi), using organ histopathology of mixed breed grower rabbits as an in-vivo confirmatory reflector of its nutritional significance after a feeding trial. The proximate analysis of the leaf meal yielded 8.04%; 14.25%, 60.39%, 6.26%, 2.84% and 2.84% of moisture; crude protein, NFE, ash, ether extract and crude fibre respectively on dry matter bases and 2903.41Kcal/kg. In the mineral analysis, minerals detected were: Calcium (10.80mg/ 100g), Magnesium (45.00mg/ 100g), Potassium (486.00mg/ 100g), Sodium (3.86mg/ 100g), and Phosphorus (395.30mg/ 100g). The phytochemical screening of the leaf meal yielded 1.03, 0.37, 0.47, and 0.55g/100g of Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Saponins and Tannin, respectively. Other phytochemicals found were Phenols (0.17mg/100g), Phytates (0.12mg/100g), and cyanogenic glycosides (7.07mg/100g). Analysis of the leaf meal protein detected 17 (seventeen) amino acids, comprising of both essential and non-essential amino acids, almost in the ratio of 1:1. In the feeding trial with rabbits, 4 experimental diets were formulated such that diet 1 (control) contained 0% Gongronema latifolia leaf meal (GLLM) while diets 2, 3 and 4 contained 10%, 20% and 30% GLLM, respectively. Each diet was fed to a group of 9 grower rabbits for 49 days. All performance parameters (average initial body weight, average final body weight, average body weight gain, average daily feed intake, average daily body weight gain, and feed-to-gain ratio), were not significantly (P&lt;0.05) affected by dietary treatments. There were no lesions of pathologic significance in the tissues (liver, kidney and pancreas) examined. The results of the in-vivo and in vivo investigations suggest that GLLM is not toxic, and is sufficiently nutritious to support rabbit production.&#x0D;

Abstract:
Medicinal plants, bioactive compounds, and dietary measures have been found to be effective in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). About 463 million people have diabetes worldwide; estimates project 700 million people by 2045. While T1DM is caused by the loss of beta cells of pancreatic islets that produce insulin, resulting in the deficiency of insulin, T2DM, which constitutes over 90 to 95% of all DM cases, is caused by insulin resistance, and could relatively combine reduction in the secretion of insulin. Aloe vera, Terminalia chebula, Perilla frutescens, Curcuma longa, Zingiber zerumbet, Nigella sativa, Gongronema latifolium, Pachira aquatic, Caesalpinioideae, Azadirachta indica, Artemisia dracunculus, Artemisia herbaalba, Vachellia nilotica, Abelmoschus moschatus, Cinnamomum verum, Salvia officinalis, Tinospora cordifoli, Pterocarpus, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Mangifera indica, Syzygium cumini, Coccinia grandis, Caesalpinia bonduc, Gymnema sylvestre, Carthamus tinctorius, Allium sativum, and Trigonella foenum-graecum are among the medicinal plants shown to be effective in controlling and treating T1DM and T2DM. Bioactive compounds such as lycopene, vitamin E, vitamin D, genistein, quercetin, resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, hesperidin, naringin, anthocyanin, etc. are useful in treating T1DM and T2DM.
