“…Creatinine is a waste molecule that is generated from protein metabolism. Reduction in creatinine formation indicates retarded catabolism rate in broilers (Divya et al, 2014). In contradiction to the present findings, Lateef et al (2016) reported that supplementation of MLM up to 20% level in the diet resulted in increased (p<0.05) serum creatinine content in broilers as compared to the control.…”

“…Similarly, Alnidawi et al (2016) also reported that the inclusion of MLM up to 20% level in the diet of broiler chicks had no effect (p>0.05) on serum triglyceride concentration. On the other hand, decreased (p<0.05) serum triglyceride content in broilers upon feeding MLM in the diet were also reported earlier (Divya et al, 2014;Mousa et al, 2017). The decreased serum triglyceride content observed in quails fed diets containing MLM might be attributed to its hypolipidaemic effect.…”

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of moringa leaf meal (MLM) at varying levels in the diet of quails on serum biochemical profile. One hundred and fifty day old quail chicks were randomly allotted into 5 experiment groups (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) each with 3 replicates of 10 chicks. MLM was incorporated at 0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0% levels, respectively, in the different experimental groups. All the diets formulated were iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. At the end of the experiment, blood was collected from 2 birds/ replicate, thus a total of 30 birds and serum was separated. Results revealed that the albumin, calcium and phosphorus contents were increased (p<0.05), while glucose decreased (p<0.01) with increase in the level of MLM for 0 to 6.0 % in the diet. And the values for total protein and globulin increased (p>0.05), while triglycerides, total cholesterol and creatinine decreased (p>0.05) with linear increase of MLM in quail diets. Further, increase (p<0.05) in HDL Cholesterol level and decrease (p>0.05) in LDL and VLDL Cholesterol levels were recorded in serum with increased level of inclusion of MLM from 0 to 6.0 % in the diet. The present study indicated that moringa leaf meal can be included up to 6.0 % level in the diet of quails for production of low cholesterol meat without any adverse effects on production performance.

“…Parallel results were seen by Moez et al (2014) who detected enhancement of the antimicrobial activity of dry M. oleifera leaves. Divya et al (2014) detected that supplementation of MOLP (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) significantly reduced the gut microflora and coliform population. Moreover, Onsare et al (2013), Gomashe et al (2014) and Hossam et al (2016) observed that M. oleifera leaf extract inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp.…”

“…Kout et al (2015) and Agashe et al (2017) observed significantly higher body weights on diets containing different levels (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%) of M. oleifera leaf meal. Divya et al (2014) demonstrated that addition of MOLP at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% levels or antibiotic slightly decreased body weight. Ochi et al (2015) also found significant reduction in weight gain and body weight at inclusion level of 2% M. oleifera, while supplementation with 0.5% resulted in significant increase in feed consumption.…”

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of using different levels of phytobiotic containing Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaf powder (MOLP) on broiler chickens body growth performance parameters, intestinal microbial population, and the humoral immune response. Day-old Hubbard broiler chicks (n = 200) were randomly allocated into 4 treatment diet. Basal diet was supplied with treatments T0, T1, T2 and T3 representing (0, 1%, 5% and 7.5% MOLP); respectively. Chickens were kept under observation for 5 weeks. Body performance parameters, total viable bacterial and coliform counts and humoral immune response to Newcastle disease (ND) virus vaccine were detected using the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. The results revealed significant (P < 0.05) improvement in performance parameters in groups supplemented with dietary MOLP. However, the best significant (P < 0.05) performance was observed in the group fed 1% MOLP. There was no significant (P < 0.05) difference among treatments considering the total viable intestinal bacterial and coliform counts. Significant (P < 0.05) increase in the means of HI in dietary MOLP supplemented groups was observed, where the highest means were seen in 1% MOLP treated birds. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with MOLP could improve the performance parameters and the immune response while reducing the total viable intestinal bacterial and coliform counts of broiler chickens. The study recommended using of dietary level of 1% MOLP to improve performance, intestinal health, and immune competence.

“…The M. oleifera leaves were dried in air at 25 to 28ºC, turned over at intervals with gloves and kept away from sun rays for 7 days. The M. oleifera dried leaves were processed into powdery form and kept in well-covered containers to prevent air [15]. One hundred grams of the dry powder was obtained, put in a dry container and stored in a cool dry place.…”

Aim: This study was carried out to determine the effects of dried Moringa oleifera leaves on Bifidobacteria and Escherichia coli in the gut of albino rats. Location: The rats were habituated under laboratory conditions at the animal house of the Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan, for two weeks in other to adapt to the environmental conditions during the experiment. Duration of Study: The rats were exposed to the M. oleifera feed for four weeks. Design of Study: There were five groups in all. The 5 to 6 weeks old rats were fed with M. oleifera powder supplement except for the control groups. Methods: No supplement of M. oleifera feed was administered to group A while group B received streptomycin antibiotics. Groups C, D and E received dried leaf supplement of M. oleifera (DMO) 1.25 g/kg body weight (2.5%), 2.5 g/kg body weight (5%) and 5.0 g/kg body weight (10%) respectively. Results: E.coli counts increased from 2.3*104 to 2.6*104 colony-forming units per gram (cfu/g) in group E, from 2.2*104 to 3.0*10 cfu/g in group B; but reduced from 4.1*104 to 3.7*104 cfu/g in group D and from 5.4*104 to 3.9*104 cfu/g in group C between day 20 and day 28. As from day 8, the isolates from the non-control groups were resistant to the M. oleifera extract except E. coli isolates in both 5% and 10% M. oleifera groups on day 8 with 6 mm zone of inhibition each. The rate of Bifidobacteria viable counts increase in group E was expressed as P = 0.05 at the beginning of the experiment, unlike E.coli counts where there was a decrease. Conclusion: The M. oleifera leaf alters the microbiota in the gut, a situation which sends impulses to the brain. Thus, the M. oleifera leaf powder is a potential prebiotic for probiotics like Bifidobacteria, and as well as induce changes in the gut-brain axis.
