Influence of Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal on Egg Lipids and Blood Constituents of Laying Hens

Dietary Influence of Fluted Pumpkin and Moringa Leaf Meal Supplementations on Blood and Egg Lipid Profile of ISA Brown Laying Birds

“…Moreover, haemoglobin content of the treatment diets were significantly higher than the control diet, this may be attributed to the iron composition of the test supplement as iron is essential in haemoglobin formation. This was in line to the finding of Akinola and Ovotu (2018) who revealed a significantly higher haemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume in the control group when moringa was supplemented in the layer diet at 1.5% inclusion. Influence of experimental diets on lipid profile of the blood plasma The result of blood plasma lipid profile was presented in Table 4.…”

Effect of Drumstick (Moringa olifera) Leaf Meal as a Natural Feed Additive on Serum Lipid Profile of Broilers

“…Similar observations were also found by Sarker et al, (2017) reported that the decreasing the plasma level in broiler chicken by addition of MOLM in the diet, which indirectly revealed about the hypocholesterolemic effect of Moringa olifera. The results of present study could be correlated with the result of Akinola, (2018) who reported that the Moringa olifera leaf meal results better cholesterol. The result revealed that better (HDL-cholesterol) of the 0.5%-1.0% levels of MOLM, triglycerides, and low density lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol) with no effect on high density lipoprotein cholesterol.…”

“…The results obtained in this present study corresponds with the results of Sarker et al, (2017) who showed that the supplementation of broiler chicks receiving 1.5 per cent moringa leaf meal was significantly (P<0.05) higher final body weight as compared to control group. Similar trend was also observed by Akinola, (2018) who indicated that the same result as the weekly live body weight of MOLM fed 0.5 and 1.5 % these two treatments are at par with each other broilers diet remained significantly (P<0.05) higher than control group. The present results are also line with the findings obtained by Banjo, (2012) who revealed that chicks fed on 2% MOLM recorded significantly (P<0.05) higher body weight as compared to all tested groups.…”

Moringa (M. oleifera) Leaf Meal in Diets for Broilers and Laying Hens: A Review

“…Also, findings showed that high density lipoprotein and lutein content increased in the eggs whereas the cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein reduced with supplementation at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g/kg of M. oleifera leaves meal in diets of the layers (Lala et al, 2012). HDL was reduced, but no difference in total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL of the eggs by addition of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% M. oleifera leaves (Akinola & Ovotu, 2018). The supplementation of diets for hens with M. oleifera fresh leaf significantly improved the yolk colour (Abou-Elezz et al, 2011, 2012Lala et al, 2012), but there was no difference in egg yolk colour score between eggs from Moringa leaf meal diets and those from supermarkets (Gakuya et al, 2014a).…”

“…The addition of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% M. oleifera meal leaves reduced aspartic transaminase (AST) activity insignificantly, but there was a significant decrease in alanine transaminase (ALT) by the addition of 0.4% M. oleifera, which may reflect normal liver function of the birds fed diets containing M. oleifera leaves meal (Makanjuola et al, 2014;Akinola & Ovotu, 2018). Egu (2019) indicated that urea, cholesterol, glucose, calcium and alkaline phosphatase values were reduced in group fed 10% M. oleifera leaf meal comparing to control birds.…”
