Résumé

A trial was carried out to determine the follicle stimulating hormone levels of West African Dwarf bucks fed diets containing graded levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM). Sixteen (16) bucks were designated into four treatment groups T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively with four (4) bucks per treatment, and each buck serving as a replicate in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Bucks in the first treatment group (T1) were fed the control diet (0% MOLM) while bucks in the second (T2), third (T3) and fourth (T4) treatment groups were fed diets containing graded levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (10%, 20% and 30%) respectively. The trial lasted for 120 days. Inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal in concentrate diets positively influenced follicle stimulating hormone levels of West African Dwarf bucks. This study has demonstrated that Moringa oleifera leaf meal possesses good dietary quality for optimal reproductive performance of West African Dwarf bucks, and should be incorporated into their concentrate diets.
