“…Their differences were significant ( p < 0.05). These results confirm the previous findings [ 10 , 11 , 23 , 26 , 27 ] that moringa foliage is a good source of protein-rich amino acids that can enhance the utilization of dietary N and can boost the production and productivity of the dairy animal.…”

“…Moringa feed containing phenolic compounds and other metabolites did not show any adverse effect on the ruminal environment and microbial activities. Similarly, previous studies [ 6 , 10 , 19 ] have shown that feeding moringa plant materials containing high secondary metabolites increased digestibility, maintained an excellent ruminal environment, and ensured good feeding value [ 12 ], when 18% of moringa feed was complemented in the diet.…”

“…The present study reveals that the feed efficiency (%) increased significantly only for the moringa group but did not show any significant difference of DMI among the treatment groups. It is indicated to improve the microbial fermentation with feeding moringa feed that is the main reason to increase nutrient utilization with low-quality roughages [ 10 ]. Moringa feed containing phenolic compounds and other metabolites did not show any adverse effect on the ruminal environment and microbial activities.…”

“…The results ascribe the application of M. oleifera as a plant material that contains high minerals [ 20 ] as vital elements for increasing animal production and quality [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Protein is a critical component of moringa feed that enhances the microbial protein synthesis and also increases ruminal bypass that is essential for animal productivity [ 8 , 10 , 19 ].…”

“…Moreover, saponins and tannins are the major bioactive compounds of M. oliefera [ 5 , 6 , 9 ], which provide a positive impact on feed utilization and lessen the CH 4 production through antimicrobial activities [ 4 , 5 ]. High nutrient containing M. oleifera in the diet was found responsive to increase in feed intake and digestibility [ 10 ] and exaggerated the milk yield, with no adverse effect on blood chemistry [ 6 , 11 , 12 ]. The feeding of Moringa as a feed for dairy cattle was explored through systematic research, but the farmers are not used to formulating the moringa feed, which is why it needs to be explored, at least to support the formulation of diets of high metabolism in lactating cows.…”

Objective: This experiment was designed to assess the quality and to evaluate the feeding impact of moringa feed on intake, digestibility, rumen fermentation, methane (CH 4 ) production, and milk yield. Materials and methods: According to body weight and exit–entry average daily milk production, fifteen BLRI cattle breed-1 lactating cows of 3rd or 4th stage of parturition with wk 3 and 4 of calving were selected and were equally and randomly distributed into three dietary groups. One group of cows was fed a control diet (T 0 ) consisting of 1:1 dry matter (DM) of Napier silage and conventionally mixed concentrate. The other two groups were fed a control diet by randomly replacing i) 50% (T 1 ) or ii) 100% (T 2 ) of its concentrate with moringa feed. The three dietary groups were balanced nutritionally based on energy and protein following the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) standard. Results: The concentrate mixture was replaced with moringa feed to increase the feed efficiency and to reduce the DM or crude protein intake (p < 0.05) per 100 kg of metabolic body weight. The T 2 group flourished with the highest (p < 0.05) amount of raw milk and also 4% fat-corrected milk (4.39 and 4.59 kg/day, respectively) compared to the T 0 group (3.30 and 3.49 kg/day, respectively). However, it increased (p < 0.05) the concentration of total volatile fatty acid and decreased (p < 0.05) the blood and milk cholesterol, and ammonia-nitrogen (NH 3 -N) was reputed by adding moringa feed into the T 0 group, without showing any significant (p > 0.05) change in CH 4 production, fat, solid not fat, lactose or protein content of milk. Conclusion: Therefore, moringa feed increased the productivity in dairy cows, replacing the whole concentrate diet.

A study was undertaken at Animal Nutrition Research Station, College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, India during January–March, 2020 to determine effect of feeding Moringa oleifera on nutrient intake, rumen fermentation and economics in adult cattle. Fourteen adult cattle were randomly divided into two groups on the basis of body weight viz., T1 (control): TMR (Wheat straw-70% and Concentrate-30%) and T2 (Treatment): Control TMR+Green Moringa oleifera (replacing TMR with 20% of total protein requirement of animal from green Moringa oleifera). The daily dry matter intake (kg), crude protein intake (g), digestible crude protein intake (g), TDN intake (kg) was found non-significant in both the groups, whereas dry matter intake and TDN intake (kg 100 kg- BW and g kg-1 W0.75) were significantly higher in control group. The crude protein intake (g 100 kg-1 BW) and DCP intake (g 100 kg-1 BW and g kg-1 W0.75) were significantly higher in Moringa supplemented group. The average ruminal pH, ammonical nitrogen (NH3-N) (mg dl-1), Non-protein nitrogen (NPN) (mg dl-1), soluble nitrogen (mg dl-1) and TCA precipitable nitrogen (mg dl-1) were found non-significant. However, the concentration of TVFA (mM dl-1) and total nitrogen (mg dl-1) were significantly higher in Moringa supplemented group. The daily feed cost was reduced by 8.93% in Moringa oleifera supplemented group but statistically the difference was found non-significant.
