Lipid oxidation occurred more rapidly (P<0.05) when MLM was not added. During processing and storage, TBARS were higher (P< 0.05) in chicken droewors. TBARS during storage were lower (P>0.05) with MLM added. Results showed a significant difference (P<0.05) in proximate composition of chicken droëwors, containing on average 16.93±1.29 to 10.79± 1.83/ 100 g moisture, 45.80± 1.65 to 67.56± 2.33/ 100 g protein, 14.37± 2.15 to 26.13± 2.15/100 g ash. The current study resultsgave a summary of the composition of chicken droëwors and showed higher susceptibility to lipid oxidation in chicken droewors. Therefore, Moringa oleifera leaf powder showed antioxidant activity in chicken droëwors, reserved lipid oxidation in the product. In conclusion, MLM could be used as a functional antioxidant preservative in chicken droëwors.]]> Wed 16 Feb 2022 11:50:07 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45208 Wed 15 May 2024 19:11:22 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:48621 0.05) between the cultivars. The number of tillers were significantly different (P<0.05), the highest number of tillers was observed in Mombaca. Fresh yield showed significant differences at 10 and 14WAP, with Marandu producing the highest Fresh yield. The moisture content was different (P<0.05) across all the three harvests. Varying (P< 0.05) results were also observed in the dry matter yield of the cultivars with Mombaca producing the highest dry matter yield. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the ash content of the cultivars. The fat content also showed no significant differences. Variations (P<0.05) occured in the ADF of the cultivars, Marandu had the lowest ADF. The cultivar × WAP interactive effect was significant for ADL content. NDF significantly varied across the cultivars at 6WAP. There were no similarities (P<0.05) in the crude protein during the three harvesting intervals, Mombaca produced the highest CP and the lowest was obtained from Gatton. There was a significant interaction (P<0.05) between the cultivars and harvesting intervals for Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), K/Ca+Mg, Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn) and Manganese (Mn) contents of the cultivars. However, Phosphorus (P) showed no significant interaction (P>0.05) between the cultivars and harvesting intervals. The results obtained in this study showed that as the grasses grow, the biomass yield produced increases according to the genetic makeup and the factors affecting growth and biomass yield. However, the chemical composition decreased between cultivars. Mombaca showed superior traits in terms of growth biomass yield and chemical composition. Mombaca, which is a Panicum maximum cultivar can be used as a choice in forage production and chemical composition as it can supply both quality and quantity. It can be concluded that there are significant differences in growth characteristics, biomass yield and chemical composition of Panicum maximum and Brachiaria brizantha cultivars at different harvesting stages. It can also be recommended that the best harvesting stage is at 10 WAP, this is because both biomass yield and chemical composition are both satisfactory.]]> Tue 22 Mar 2022 11:50:45 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:53179 Thu 14 Jul 2022 10:21:34 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43681 Sat 07 Aug 2021 08:35:28 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46554 Mon 14 Feb 2022 13:03:18 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45207 Fri 18 Feb 2022 15:47:53 SAST ]]>
