This research was carried out to evaluate the phytochemicals constituents and nutritional values of mesocarp and seed of sweet detar(Detarium Microcarpum) fruit as supplementary feed ingredient in the diets of rats. Thirty five healthy mixed sexalbino rats of four weeks old were divided into five groups of seven rats each and fed with different ratios(M1:2R; M2:1R; S1:2R and S2:1R) of mesocarp and seed of D. microcarpum. Data were collected on feed intake and growth rate was observed. At the end of the experiments, saponins, phenolics and terpenoids were detected in both the mesocarp (fruit pulp) and seed while alkaloids and steroids were detected in the seed only. Furthermore, flavonoids and cardiac glycosides are detected only in the mesocarp. Tannins, cardenolides and anthraquinone were not detected in both the mesocarp and seed of D. microcarpum. There was depressed feed intake and daily weight gain of rats in groups C (M2:1R), D (S1:2R) and E (S2:1R) and hence their growth when compared with the control (group A). The results of this investigation suggest that fruit of D.microcarpum could have advert effect on theratsand may contain some anti-nutrients that might have interfered with its digestion and absorption, hence the observed retardation in the growth of rats fed with this fruit.
