“…Contrary to the current results, other experiments reported that plants containing bioactive compounds, such as essential oils, flavonoids, and carotenoids, affect Haugh unit and shell thickness positively (Nobakht & Moghaddam, 2013;Abbas, 2013 (Gakuya et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014). This type of response may be attributed to higher levels of β-carotene and quercetin, 2.7-3.10 mg and 80-150 mg per 100g pods, respectively (Lako et al, 2007;Tesfaye et al, 2014). Similarly, other researchers stated that β-carotene is deposited in egg yolk when supplemented with coloured carrots at 70g/bird/day in the basal diet (Okonkwo, 2009;Hammershoj et al, 2010).…”

“…Low egg shell thickness in birds supplemented with Diet D could be attributed to the antinutritional factors present in Moringa pods that disturb the calcium metabolism (Olugbemi et al 2010;Paguia et al, 2014). Similar results were reported by Tesfaye et al (2014), who showed that egg quality parameters such as Haugh unit and shell thickness did not change with increasing levels of Moringa in the diet, whereas feed efficiency increased. As reported by Gakuya et al (2014), egg quality parameters remained unchanged in the treatment groups throughout the supplementation period.…”

The present study was designed to investigate the influence of Moringa oleifera (Lam.) pod meal (MPM) on production, immunity, and functional food index of chicken eggs. Two hundred HyLine W36 layer birds aged 50 weeks, 1469 ± 46.63 g, were assigned to four treatments in a completely randomized design, with five replicates and ten birds each. Diets A, B, C, and D were formulated with the same caloric and protein levels, but with differing MPM dose levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15g MPM/kg finisher diet, respectively. Data for production performance, quality, and chemical composition of eggs were analysed by one-way ANOVA, and means were compared with Duncan's multiple range test. As a result of this study, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and egg mass (EM) were significantly decreased and recorded lowest in Group B, which was offered 5 g/kg above the basal diet. Bioactives such as β-carotene, quercetin, and selenium levels were increased (540, 121, & 72.21µg/100g of yolk, respectively), whereas cholesterol levels in egg yolk and serum were decreased significantly, that is, 201.87 mg/100g and 8.47 mg/dl, respectively. Serum biochemical indicators, including serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), glucose, creatinine and cholesterol levels, were lowered significantly. Proximate analysis of egg yolk showed that moisture and ether extract were decreased, whereas crude protein (CP), ash and minerals, sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P) contents were increased. The outcomes of this study showed that MPM supplementation affects EM, serum biochemistry and bioactive compounds of the egg yolk positively. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…For example, feeding cassava chips supplemented with Moringa oleifera leaf meal at 5 and 10% levels enabled the chips to replace maize at 55.56 and 83.33% in the diets of broilers, with no negative effect on productivity and blood function when 5% M. oleifera leaf meal was added [102]. Furthermore, Tesfaye et al [103] tested cassava root chips supplemented with M. oleifera in layers. They reported that body weight gain, egg weight and hatchability were higher when birds were fed diets containing up to 50% cassava root chips as a full substitute for corn, supplemented with 5% M. oleifera.…”

The continuous increase in cost of conventional energy sources caused by inadequate supply and stiff competition between human, animals and various industries for many decades has resulted to the need to source for suitable, readily available and cheap energy sources for poultry production globally. One such alternative is cassava. A native to South America, cassava is now found in abundance in most tropical countries. Due to lack of excellent post-harvest technologies, large quantities of cassava are wasted. An increased use of cassava in poultry feeding will go a long way to reduce this wastage and also reduce the high cost of poultry feed. However, the utilisation of cassava in poultry nutrition has been hindered by its lower nutritional value, especially protein and amino acids, presence of some ANF and dustiness when poultry feed is produced with cassava meal. Traditional processing methods have only succeeded in taking the inclusion level of cassava to 40% in some poultry diets. Researchers and poultry nutritionists have become interested in developing multi-pronged technologies and processing methods to increase cassava utilisation in poultry nutrition to reduce wastage, improve its nutritional value and maximise production. This chapter highlights the application of different technologies and the importance of biotechnology in improving the quality of cassava and increasing its utilisation for poultry feeding.

“…Adding 2.5% Moringa oleifera leaf powder can significantly increase the protein concentration (Ebenebe, Anigbogu, Anizoba, & Ufele, 2013). Adding 5% can also significantly increase the protein content by weight and concentration, but it has no effect on the Harrington unit (Tesfaye, Animut, Urge, & Dessie, 2014). Other studies have shown that Moringa oleifera leaves can regulate egg nutrition.…”

The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of dietary addition of high‐dose Moringa extract (10 g/kg Moringa extract) on laying performance, haematological parameters, organ index and organ histopathology of Hailan brown laying hens in order to determine the safety limit of Moringa extract in laying hens diet. 270 Hailan brown commercial laying hens with similar body weight were randomly divided into three treatments, 6 replicates per treatment and 15 chickens per replicate. Corn–soybean meal‐based diet was used in the experiment, and 0, 0.75 and 10 g/kg extracts of Moringa oleifera were added to the basic diet in the experimental group. The experiment lasted 24 weeks. The results showed that the treatment group given 10 g/kg of dietary Moringa extract had no significant difference in egg‐laying performance from the control group (p > .05). Adding 0.75 g/kg Moringa extract had no significant effect on the production performance during the early stage of the experiment (p > .05), but during the later stage, F/E was significantly lower than in the control group (p < .05), and no significantly difference compared with 10 g/kg treatment group (p > .05). The addition of Moringa oleifera extract had no significant effect on serum biochemical indices of laying hens except ALB and UREA (p > .05). The addition of Moringa oleifera extract had no significant effect on blood routine indexes of laying hens except for PLT, MON and HCT (p > .05). The digestive and immune organ indexes of laying hens at the later stage of the experiment (24 weeks) were not significantly affected by the addition of Moringa extract (p > .05) except ceca. There were no obvious abnormalities in histological structure. On the whole, we find it is safe to add Moringa oleifera extract to the diet of laying hens at a dosage of less than 10 g/kg.
