Abstract

In the persistent pursuit of alleviating the deleterious effects of malnutrition, particularly accentuated in vulnerable regions such as southern Madagascar, a comprehensive examination of the inherent capacities of botanical resources emerges as imperative. The current investigation thus endeavors to delve into the nutritional intricacies and underlying adaptations of four distinct cultivars of Mucuna pruriens, with the overarching objective of elucidating potential avenues for addressing the enduring predicaments of malnutrition, which corrodes the socio-economic fabric of indigenous communities while being exacerbated by the adverse ramifications of global climatic shifts. This rigorous inquiry is poised to scrutinize the diverse cultivars of Mucuna pruriens extensively, meticulously analyzing their nutritional profile encompassing both micronutrient and macronutrient constituents. The fundamental aspiration of this scholarly endeavor is to elucidate the underexplored nutritional reservoirs harbored within these Mucuna pruriens varieties, presenting auspicious prospects for fostering a more equitable and sustainable dietary paradigm. This entails employing a series of preparatory measures including soaking, dehulling, germination, cooking, and drainage, aimed at mitigating the presence of anti-nutritional elements, thereby optimizing the nutritional utility of the seeds.

Abstract

In order to promote the nutrition of tilapia in farming, a food has been created from traditional raw materials and containing a quantity of banana flour and carrot flour from local production 3%. We tested the food which contains 33% crude proteins and 8% lipids on carp fry having an initial weight of 99.56 ±1.12 gr during 50 days in Vakinankaratra region, Madagascar . After 50 days of experiment, the final weights of the fish fluctuated between 187.63g and 188.15g depending on the treatments used. The food containing banana flour, carrot and the control food showed almost similar growth and food transformation rates, with specific growth rates (SGR) of 3.12%/d and 3.14%/ j as well as a conversion rate of 1.5 and 1.5. Thanks to this test, we were able to observe the impact of banana and carrot on the development of tilapia. We will continue to study the use of local agri-food by-products and waste in feeding this fish.
