| Abstract | Legume is a good quality protein source that provides nutritive value for livestock animals, particularly ruminants. It also contains bioactive compounds which can be work against oxidants that prevent diseases. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a perennial flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae with a high protein content and moderate contents of vitamin B, C, phosphorus, and zinc. The aim of this research was to evaluate the nutritive value and bioactive compounds of alfalfa at harvesting intervals of 120 days at Sa Kaeo province. Alfalfa was grown at the agricultural research facility of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Burapha University, Sa Kaeo Campus, Thailand. They experiment was done from September 2018March 2019. Chemical composition and bioactive compounds (tannin, total phenolic, total flavonoids, and isoflavone) were measured. The results showed that dry matter, ash, crude protein, fat and crude fiber were 91.44%, 9.20%, 17.68%, 2.46%, and 26.48%, respectively. Whereas, tannin, total phenolic, total flavonoids, daidzein and genistein in dry alfalfa were 2.34%, 2.17 mg RE/g sample, 2.02 mg RE/g sample, 46.72 and 15.38 ?g/g sample, respectively. The highest phenolic compounds were 203.60 ?g/g sample. The results suggest that the alfalfa plant can be developed as supplement that is benefit to health, for dairy cattle to achieve alternative products that contains high-flavonoids level in goat or dairy cow's milk that will be useful for ruminant and human health as well. |
