“…Another study conducted in Ghana found that supplementation of a cereal-legume blended flour with Moringa leaves increased mean vitamin A levels among children aged 4-12-yearsold; however, this population was deficient in vitamin A at baseline (32). Glover-Amengo et al (32) showed that the vitamin A status of school-age children could be improved by supplementing their diets with Moringa leaf powder. About 53.3% of school-age-children in Bangladesh have mild vitamin A deficiency (0.35-0.70 µmol/l).…”

ObjectivesMoringa oleifera has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. The plant has antifungal, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. We aimed to evaluate the effect of consumption of Moringa leaves, along with a regular diet on serum hemoglobin and retinol and underweight status among rural Bangladeshi adolescent girls.MethodsThis school-based quasi-experimental study involved 226 adolescent girls (12–14 years-old). Intervention group (n = 113) received a meal comprising rice, concentrated dal, and fried potato with Moringa pakora (oil-fried snack); the control group (at a different school in an adjacent area with similar population demographics) received calorie-matched meal without Moringa pakora for 6 months. We used generalized liner regression (GLM) analysis, to explore the effect of the intervention among the groups between baseline and endline.ResultsMean age of the intervention and control groups were 12.7 ± 0.7 and 13.3 ± 0.8 years, respectively. After adjusting for maternal education, absenteeism, asset index, BMI-for-age Z-score, GLM regression showed significant positive changes in hemoglobin (intervention vs. control: coef = 0.41, P = 0.010) and serum retinol (coef = 0.27, P = 0.00). No significant changes in weight was observed between groups.ConclusionConsumption of Moringa leaves has the potential to improving hemoglobin and serum retinol level and should be encouraged as regular diet.

“…Moringa oleifera banyak ditemukan di daerah tropis kering, dilaporkan menjadi sumber yang kaya protein dan mikronutrien. Daun Moringa oleifera bisa dipanen dan dikeringkan dengan murah dengan pengering surya dan digiling untuk membentuk bubuk yang dapat disimpan untuk digunakan di rumah tangga pedesaan (Glover-Amengor, et al, 2017). Kandungan protein daun kelor kering mencapai 28,44%; lemak 2,74%; karbohidrat 57,01%; serat 12,63%; dan kalsium 1600-2200mg.…”

“…Sampai saat ini, studi tentang kesesuaian serbuk daun kelor sebagai bahan dalam makanan pendamping telah berfokus pada komposisi terdekat, analisis sensorik, keamanan mikrobiologis makanan yang diformulasikan dengan serbuk daun kelor dan beberapa studi observasional tentang potensinya untuk meningkatkan status gizi bayi dalam 1000 hari pertama kehidupan. Uji coba menunjukkan penerimaan dan kemanjurannya jangka panjang ketika dimasukkan ke dalam makanan pelengkap (Glover-Amengor, et al, 2017).…”

Stunting is a growth disorder in toddlers as a result of chronic malnutrition so the child's height does not match their age based on the index of height for age (TB/U) with limits (z-score) is less than -2 Standard Deviation. The impact of stunting causes irreversible disruptions to the physical development of children, which causes a decrease in children's cognitive and motor skills, as well as increased susceptibility to suffering from a disease. One way to overcome malnutrition that occurs in children under five needs to be supplemented with supplementary feeding (PMT). Providing balanced nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life (HPK) can meet the needs of macro and micronutrients to avoid or reduce the risk of stunting. High amounts of protein, iron, calcium, and carotenoids are important for the growth and development of children, especially in preventing stunted growth and malnutrition of protein energy.Â MoringaÂ leaves are reported to have quite a few nutrients, namely, 10 times the vitamin A found in carrots, 17 times calcium milk, 9 times the protein of yogurt, and carotenoids which are more than oranges, carrots, and melons.Â Moringa oleiferaÂ can be used to treat malnutrition and strengthen complementary foods with local plants that are rich in protein and micronutrients. ProcessedÂ Moringa leavesÂ can be consumed in dry or wet form and mixed in other foodstuffs with minimal costs. This menu can be a complementary food to fulfill the nutritional needs of 1000 HPK.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of combination probiotics and Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) extract in nutrient consumption of ducks. This study used 48 Peking ducks. The concentration of probiotic was 1.2 x 108 CFU/ml. The treatments of this research were P0 (control), P1 (4 ml probiotics), P2 (4 ml M. oleifera extract) and P3 (2 ml probiotics + 2 ml M. oleifera extract). The data were statistically analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that feed consumption of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and nitrogen free extract were no significant difference (p>0.05) between all treatments. It can be concluded that the addition of combination probiotics and M. oleifera extract can be used to maintain nutrient consumption and safe for health ducks.
