Influence of vanadium supplementation on growth performance of Barbari goat kids

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the chemo-profile of aqueous extract of Nauclea latifolia using GC-MS. The GC-MS analysis of the plant extract was performed by using GC-MS QP-2010 (Shimadzu) and the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract were matched with the data in the library of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) The result revealed the presence of eighteen compounds. The most prevailing compounds were 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z) - methyl ester, Oleic acid, and Benzamide 2-bromo-N-[2-(3-fluorophenyl)-5-benzoxazolyl] having a percentage area of 16.93%, 14.01%, and 9.18% respectively. The least abundant compound was 5-Methyl-2-phenylindolizine (0.66%). Some of these phytocompounds' bioactivities include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimalarial activities. As a result, the leaf extract has the potential to be a source of novel treatments. The results of this investigation thus validate the plant's traditional usage for medicine.
