Proximate composition  and  phytochemical analyses  were  carried  out  on  the
leaves of Annona  muricata using  standard  methods.  The  result of  the  proximate  composition
showed  that  the  leaves contained 88.99% dry  matter,  11.01%  moisture,  25%  crude  protein,
14.96%  ash,  22.20%  crude  fiber, 21.22  %  fat  and 16.62%  carbohydrate  contents.  The
phytochemicals  detected  in  the ethanolic  leaf  extracts  were flavonoids,  alkaloids,  cardiac
glycoside, tannins, triterpenoid, saponin and reducing sugar. The findings indicate that Annona
muricata leaves is a potential source of highly nutritious feed stuff and phytomedicine. They are
of  nutritional,  clinical  and veterinary  relevance considering  the  diverse  ethnopharmacological
