“…The reduction in the Hb of the birds fed 20% can attributed specifically to higher intake of phytate and oxalate. Tannin has also been reported to decrease protein digestibility which in turn has deleterious effects on RBC and Hb in chickens (Emiola et al, 2003).In a similar study, increasing inclusion levels of Moringa leaf meal was found to reduce the haematological indices in rats (Odetola et al, 2012). Studies have shown positive correlations between tannin, phytate and oxalate intakes and Hb and RBC in adult cockerels and broiler chickens fed raw jackbeans and bambara groundunts respectively (Akanji, 2002).…”

“…The destruction of the trypsin inhibitor in both the UALB and FALB can be attributed to the cooking method used in this study. Moist heating has been established as a convenient means of eliminating trypsin inbitor and heamagglutinin activities in grain legumes (Emiola et al, 2003;Ologbobo et al, 1993;Udedibie and Carlini, 1998). Fermentation method of processing locust beans was able to considerably reduce tannin, oxalate, saponinns and phytate (Omafuvbe et al, 2004;Ari and Ayanwale, 2012) .…”

The study was carried out to compare the effects of unfermented and fermented African locust bean on laying performance, haematology and serum biochemical profile of hens in a twelve week feeding trial. The unfermented African locust bean (UALB) contained seeds that were dehulled and boiled in water, without going through fermentation. The fermented African locust bean (FALB) contained seeds that were dehulled, boiled in water and made to undergo natural fermentation for 4 days. One hundred, 40-week old, laying hens (Nera black) were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments in which UALB and FALB replaced soybean meal at 50% and 100% levels. Trypsin inhibitor (TI) activity was higher in the raw African locust beans (RALB), but no trace of the TI was contained in the UALB and FALB. However, higher residual amounts of tannin (38.10 mg/g) and phytate (2.80 mg/g) were obtained from the UALB. Egg weight and hen day production were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in birds fed 100% UALB. Haemoglobin was similar (p > 0.05) across the groups of hens. The packed cell volume, red blood cells and white blood cells were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in hens fed 100% UALB. Alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in birds fed 50% UALB and 100% UALB respectively. Marginal differences were however obtained in all the response indices between hens fed the control diet, 50% FALB and 100% FALB respectively. It was therefore concluded that fermentation was a better processing method for optimal utilization of Africa locust beans in diets of laying hens.

“…High concentration of tannins and phytate have been seen to affect negatively the digestibility and metabolism and therefore reduced the utilization rate of dietary nutrients and can negatively influence the growth rate from one side and other side can lead to deteriorate effect on red blood cells and haemoglobin in broiler and non-ruminants as reported by (Okai et al, 1984;Esonu, 2001;Akubugwo et al, 2007;Igwilo et al, 2010;Edu et al, 2019). In addition, phytate has a strong binding affinity for calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc, preventing their absorption in the gut and can negatively influence the development of skeletal and red blood cells (Falowo et al, 2018;Emiola et al, 2003;Odetola et al, 2012). However, it must be noted that the amounts of anti-nutrients in Moringa are generally low and do not constitute any health risks to animal and on other hand, these anti-nutrients can be reduced or neutralized through various treatments like soaking, boiling or by heat steaming and fermentation with microorganisms (Gidamis et al, 2006;Nouman et al, 2013).…”

The cost of feed ingredients in poultry production is constantly increasing and it is one of the main constraints globally and especially in low income countries. As a consequence, scientists search for cheap and available sources of feed protein. The M. oleifera leaves have not only high protein but also excellent nutritive and biological properties. This review summarises results and findings of research related to the application of M. oleifera leaf as source of feed protein in broiler and egg production. Studies showed that leaf meals used as protein source led to improvement in growth and egg production parameters with up to 10% M. oleifera leaves in chicken diets. On the other side, there are restrictions on utilization of leaf meal in chicken diets by its high dietary fibre content and the presence of anti-nutritive compounds. This review also highlights previous results indicating a positive effect of M. oleifera leaves on carcass traits and egg quality, specially pigmentation of broiler meat and egg yolk and a tendency in cholesterol reduction in blood and eggs. A couple of studies have shown a beneficial influence on the antioxidant status and intestinal microbiota which were considered as health promoting in birds. In conclusion the use of M. oleifera leaves meal can improve growth performance and egg production. Of high interest is its potential to promote animal health. However, more research is needed to find out effects of M. oleifera leaves meal on functional traits, including ileal nutrient digestibility, especially considering amino acids, and on the gut microbiota for a better understanding of the mode of action of this plant.
