Résumé

The phytochemical screening was conducted to determine the phytochemical components (secondary metabolites) of mahogany (Khaya senegalensis) bark aqueous extract to be used as feed additive in broiler chicken production. Feed additives have been playing an important role in meeting the nutritional requirements of poultry birds. With the ban on the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) which encouraged the emergence of resistant bacterial species, the need to explore other natural sources of growth promoters with limited or no residual effect is on the increase. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of the following phytochemicals: saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols, alkaloids and tannins. Other secondary metabolites tested but absent include; quinones, glycoside, anthocyanin, steroids, betacyanin and coumarins.
