Assessment of Moringa oleifera and Clitoria ternatea as non-conventional protein sources: chemical composition, greenhouse gas production, and rumen fermentation

Key Points

• Greenhouse gas production from both plants is lower compared to traditional protein sources, promoting environmental benefits.
• Chemical composition analysis reveals Moringa Oleifera contains high protein and essential amino acids, enhancing its nutritional profile.
• Rumen fermentation studies indicate improved digestibility and nutrient absorption from Moringa Oleifera and Clitoria Ternatea in livestock.
• These findings point to the potential of these plants as sustainable protein sources, needing wider adoption in dietary practices.
