Vet Med-Czech 65, 289–296. Abstract: To evaluate the dietary inclusion of mesquite pods (Prosopis laevigata) on the growth performance, rumen fermentation, nitrogen balance, blood metabolites and carcass traits, 15 Creole goat kids (12.1 ± 2.8 kg body weight) were randomly assigned to one of three experimental diets with 0, 300 and 600 g of mesquite pods (dry matter basis). The study lasted 80 days. At the end of this period, the blood and ruminal fluid were sampled and the nitrogen (N) balance was calculated. The growth performance and feed intake were not affected by the mes- quite pods. The nitrogen digestibility, N absorbed, and N retained increased linearly (P < 0.05) with the increasing amounts of mesquite pods in the diet. The serum glucose and triglycerides were not affected by the mesquite pods, but the creatinine and uric acid decreased linearly (P < 0.05) as the mesquite pods increased in the diet. The highest (P < 0.05) rumen pH value, ammonia-N concentration, molar proportion of the acetate and the acetate : propio- nate ratio was found in the goat kids fed the diet with 600 g when compared to those fed diets with 0 and 300 g mesquite pods. Beneficial dietary effects of mesquite pods on the blood metabolites and N retention of the goat kids were found in this study; therefore, the dietary inclusion of mesquite pods at 600 g/kg can be used as a feed alternative for growing goat kids.

Abstract: Prosopis laevigata and Mimosa biuncifera are frequently found in arid and semiarid shrublands, but scarce information is available about their influence on plant community structure and soil fertility. We compared plant community structure, diversity and soil nutrients of three semiarid shrubland sites located in Mezquital Valley, Mexico. These sites differ in their dominant species: Site 1 (Bingu) P. laevigata, Site 2 (González) M. biuncifera, and Site 3 (Rincón) with the presence of both legumes. The results showed that the plant community with P. laevigata and M. biuncifera (Site 3) had more cover, taller plants and higher plant diver- sity than sites with only one legume (Site 1 and Site 2). Soil organic matter (SOM), soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus-Olsen (P) and C mineralization were higher in the soil under the canopy of both legumes than in bare soil.

En cada uno de ellos se ubicaron aleatoriamente 10 parcelas de 10 x 10 m, en las que se determinaron parámetros dasométricos de altura, cobertura y densidad de los individuos, así como los indicadores ecológicos: abundancia, dominancia, frecuencia y valor de importancia (VI). La diversidad de especies se estimó con el índice de diversidad Shannon-Wiener y la similitud entre sitios mediante el índice de Jaccard. Para las temporadas seca y húmeda se registraron 1 251 y 2 457 individuos, respectivamente. En ambas se identificaron 57 especies, y de ellas comparten 34; las familias son Fabaceae y Cactaceae; los géneros mejor representados: Acacia (5), Croton (3), Echinocereus (3) y Opuntia (2). El índice de diversidad de Shannon-Wiener mostró diferencia significativa para la combinación sitio*temporada y caracterizó a los sitios en una diversidad intermedia; el índice de Jaccard evidenció mayor similitud para el S3 y menor para el S2, entre las dos épocas. La cobertura promedio para los tres sitios de estudio en los dos periodos fue de 1 061 y 1 847 m2; S3 presentó los valores más altos.

    EL GÉNERO PROSOPIS, VALIOSO RECURSO FORESTAL DE LAS ZONAS ÁRIDAS Y SEMIÁRIDAS DE AMÉRICA, ASIA Y AFRICA. Santiago Barros. Ingeniero Forestal. Instituto Forestal, Chile. [email protected] RESUMEN El género Prosopis, familia Leguminosae o Fabaceae, subfamilia Mimosoideae, está presente en forma natural en las zonas áridas y semiáridas de África, América y Asia. Consta de 44 especies, arbustivas y arbóreas, que taxonómicamente han sido divididas en 5 secciones. Tres especies son nativas de Asia, una de África y las restantes cuarenta de América, principalmente Sudamérica. Se las conoce con diferentes nombre vernáculos locales; en América, algarrobo, mezquite, Mesquite, Screwbean. Son especies multipropósito, la mayoría espinosas, alrededor de la mitad de ellas superan los 7 m de altura y varias llegan a 15 y 20 m de altura. Son resistentes a extremas condiciones de sitio; sequía, calor, salinidad en el suelo, y todas ellas son fijadoras de nitrógeno. Sus principales productos son combustible, en forma de leña y carbón de muy buena calidad, y forraje, por medio de su follaje y brotes tiernos y principalmente sus frutos. Según la especie se puede obtener madera para estructuras e incluso para aserrío, de gran calidad para muebles, parqué y otros usos, alimento humano en algunos casos, tinturas, curtientes, gomas, fibras y productos medicinales. Estas características hacen de estas especies un recurso de mucho interés para zonas áridas y semiáridas, razón por la que se las ha introducido mediante plantaciones fuera de sus regiones de distribución natural. Especies como Prosopis juliflora y P. pallida, de América han sido introducidas en el NE de Brasil, en diversos países de África y Asia, y en Australia.

    Online - 2455-3891 Vol 10, Issue 10, 2017 Print - 0974-2441 Review Article PHYTOPHARMACEUTICAL POTENTIALS OF PROSOPIS LAEVIGATA, SYMPLOCOS COCHINCHINENSIS AND NYMPHAEA ALBA: A REVIEW DIKSHA MATTA, HARSHIT NANDA, GAYATHRI MAHALINGAM* Department of Biotechnology, School of Bio Sciences and Technology, VIT University, Vellore - 632 014, Tamil Nadu, India. Email: [email protected] Received: 29 May 2017, Revised and Accepted: 12 July 2017 ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are used from a very long interval of time for treatment of several diseases. In this review, we present detailed information about the diversified medicinal properties of three different plants, namely, Prosopis laevigata, Symplocos cochinchinensis, and Nymphaea alba. The different medicinal properties found in these three unexplored plants can have industrial applications in the treatment of peculiar diseases such as heart attacks and hypercholestriamia. The typical medicinal properties found in these plant’s antioxidant, antibacterial, and antimicrobial activity, which suggests that all these plants can be used in drug design and modeling at commercial level. The unique properties of P. laevigata include anti-biofilm and anti-corrosion activities. The exclusive properties found in S. cochinchinensis include anti-snake venom activity and anticancer activity. The rare properties of N. alba include uterotonic and anxiolytic activities. Combining all these activities, we compare all the properties in these plants and hence conclude with the future therapeutic applications in drug design of these plants.

  • A Taxonomic Study of the Genus Algarobiu8 (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)
    Volume 4 1986 pp. 109-136 A Taxonomic Study of the Genus Algarobiu8 (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) John M. Kingsolver Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, c/o National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. 20560 ABSTRACT. - Descriptions, habitus and genitalic illustrations, host lists, and geo­ graphical distribution are included for the six known species, four of them new, in the genus Algarobius. Included are Algarobius prosopis (LeConte), from southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico; A. bottimeri Kingsolver from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and northeastern Mexico; A. johnsoni, new species, and A. atratus, new species, from central Mexico, A. nicoya, new species, from Sonora, Mexico,along Pacific coast to Costa Rica; and A. riochama, new species from Colombia and Venezuela. Algarobius spp. apparently obligatorily breed in seeds of Prosopis spp. A conspicuous plant in the more xeric portions of our Southwestern United States and extending into South America is the mesquite (Prosopis spp.) which has for centuries provided man with a valuable source of food, firewood, medicine, honey, gums, and building materials (Forbes, 1895; Felger, 1977). Although the foliage is of some value as forage for grazing animals, the pods are a more valuable source of protein for both man and animal. Great quantities of pods are gathered by various tribes of Indians who use them to make flour and fermented drinks. The wood makes excellent charcoal; roots, trunks, and branches are sought for firewood. Standley (1922) and Felger (1977) and Fisher (1977) list other uses of the plant. On the other hand, mesquite is considered an undesirable plant from a range management point of view, because it spreads quickly, is difficult to eradicate because it sprouts readily, and uses water that would otherwise contribute to growth of grasses and other plants more palatable to livestock (Glendening and Paulsen, 1955).
