“…The data obtained for the chemical composition of MOL are similar to the findings of (Castillo et al, ), and the content of CP in MOL agrees with the findings of AbouSekken () at 29.62% CP. However, the CP content in MOL is lower than the amount (31.68% CP) obtained in dry M. oleifera leaves as reported by El‐Badawi, Omer, Abedo, and Yacout ().…”

“…The current results suggest that broiler chickens responded positively to an MOL diet in which haematological and biochemical parameters and antioxidant status were regulated advantageously, and this result is in accordance with a previously published report . However, except for WBC as reported by Castillo et al (2018) in Japanese quail and Etchu et al (2017) (Ghasi, Nwobodo, & Ofilis, 2000).…”

“…The use of 1% MOL resulted in better ADG, FCR, PER and PI which was probably due to the quality of protein and amino acids content of MOL. Dietary MOL supplementation decreased BW and ADGbut increased FCR in broilers (Cui et al, ) and in Japanese quail (Castillo et al, ). The results of the current study indicated that when MOL was fed at levels up to 1%, the performance of broiler chickens was enhanced.…”

“…In the present study, the MOL supplement not only reduced the levels of harmful micro-organisms but also (2011) reported that M. oleifera may have some antimicrobial activity and could be used to control pathogenic bacteria. It has been observed that the inclusion of Moringa extracts in Japanese quail diets strongly inhibits Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi (Castillo et al, 2018). This antimicrobial activity may be mainly associated with phenolic compounds and flavonoids that exist in Moringa leaves (Ndhlala et al, 2014).…”

In this study, we investigated the effect of Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) supplements on the performance, ileal microbiota carcass traits and biochemical and antioxidant parameters of broiler chickens. MOL was added to starter, grower and finisher diets at four levels (0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 5.0%). A total of 320 one‐day‐old mixed‐sex Cobb‐500 broiler chicks were divided equally into four treatment groups, with 5 replicates of 16 chicks each until 42 days of age. Compared to the control group, chicks fed 0.5% and 1% MOL exhibited a higher final body weight (FBW), greater weight gain (BWG), and better average daily gain (ADG). Feed intake (FI) gradually decreased as the inclusion rate of MOL in the broilers' diet increased to 5%. The best feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and performance index (PI) were observed in broilers that were fed the MOL diet. The percentage of abdominal fat in broilers decreased significantly in response to dietary supplementation with MOL. The haematological profile in the MOL group revealed a lower WBC count and lymphocyte percentage but higher heterophil and H/L ratio without affecting haemoglobin and RBC count. The inclusion of MOL increased total serum protein, Ca and P levels but decreased glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, AST and ALT concentrations. Moreover, dietary MOL increased the activities of GSH, CAT and SOD, GPx and GST while decreasing the TBARS level. The pH value decreased in the ileum of broilers fed the 1% and 5% MOL diet compared to the other treatments. Decreased ileal counts of E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus spp. were observed whereas the total ileal Lactobacillus spp. count increased in broilers fed the MOL diet. In conclusion, the MOL supplement can enhance growth performance and antioxidant status, alter ileal microbiota and protect against enteropathogens with no deleterious effects on the broiler chickens.

Pengging ducks are one breed of Indonesia’s local duck has superior potential. This study was designed to evaluate the hematological parameters of Pengging ducks fed Moringa leaf meal as a feed additive. The data were obtained from a total of 80 female Pengging ducks of 35 weeks old were assigned into a completely randomized design and each experimental unit consisted of 4 replications. The treatment group consisted of basal fed without added Moringa leaf meal (control), basal fed added with 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% Moringa leaf meal. Data analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results showed that the addition of Moringa leaf meal gave same effect (P>0.05) on the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). However, the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) increased (P<0,05) to 15.91% at 5% moringa leaf meal. The number of leukocytes was lower (P<0.05) by 42.01% at 7.5% moringa leaf meal. Leukocyte differentials, the ratio of H:L, and trombocytes did not significant difference (P>0.05) between treatments. In conclusion, the Moringa leaf meal as a feed additive did not change the hematological parameters and could be increasing the health status of layer Pengging ducks.
