“…Furthermore, phytobiotics significantly increased the Lactobacillus count compared to PC and NC groups. Several studies endorsed the current study findings of supplemented groups Po8 and Pb4, where supplementation of the phytobiotics leaf meal in broilers’ diet possessing secondary metabolites polyphenols such as flavonoid and phenolic compound can positively modulate the microbiota balance [ 22 , 87 , 88 ].…”

The current experiment was designed to estimate the comparative efficacy of selected phytobiotics Persicaria odorata leaf meal (POLM) and Piper betle leaf meal (PBLM) with halquinol, and tetracycline in broiler chickens. The 150-day-old broiler chickens were randomly assigned to five dietary groups. The dietary supplementation groups were the basal diet (BD), which served as the negative control (NC), and BD + 0.2 g/kg tetracycline, which served as the positive control (PC); BD + 0.03 g/kg halquinol (HAL), BD + 8 g/kg POLM (Po8), and BD + 4 g/kg PBLM (Pb4) were the treatment groups. Growth performance, gut morphology, ileal digestibility, and cecal microbiota composition were measured. On day 21, the body weight gain (BWG) was enhanced (p < 0.05) in the broiler chickens fed on phytobiotics (Po8 and Pb4) relative to the NC group, however, on day 42 and in terms of overall growth performance, BWG was enhanced (p < 0.05 in diets (Po8, Pb4, HAL and PC) in comparison with the NC group. Conversely, feed conversion ratio (FCR) was recorded reduced (p < 0.05) in Pb4, Po8, HAL, and PC group in comparison with the NC group. Supplementation of phytobiotics (Po8 and Pb4), HAL and PC, positively improved the gut morphology compared to the NC group. Furthermore, the maximum (p < 0.05) villus height (VH) in duodenum and jejunum was observed in broilers fed on diet Pb4. Supplementation of phytobiotics, HAL and PC, improved (p < 0.05) the digestibility of dry matter (DM) (except for HAL), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), and ash compared to the NC group. Dietary supplementation of phytobiotics (Po8 and Pb4), HAL and PC, significantly reduced the E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus (except for HAL) counts compared to the NC group. However, supplementation of Pb4 resulted in significantly decreased total anaerobic bacteria and Clostridium spp. counts compared to the NC group. In addition, supplementation of phytobiotics significantly increased the Lactobacillus count compared to HAL, PC, and NC groups. In conclusion, dietary supplementation of phytobiotics improved the gut morphology, positively modulated and maintained the dynamics of cecal microbiota with enhanced nutrient digestibility, thus, increased the growth performance. Based on current results, phytobiotics could be used as an alternative to AGPs for sustainable broiler chicken production.

The present research was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing canola meal with Moringa oleifera leaf meal on hemato-chemical properties in broilers. For this purpose, one hundred fifty, chicks were randomly distributed into five equal groups of 30 chicks each. These chicks were further subdivided into three replicates in such a way that each replicate contained ten chicks. These chicks were randomly allotted to five treatment rations. Five isoproteinious (CP 21%) and isocaloric (2900 Kcal/Kg) rations (A, B, C, D, and E) were formulated. Ration A contained 8% canola meal but without Moringa oleifera leaf meal and served as a control, whereas in rations B, C, D and E the canola meal was replaced by Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) @ 25, 50, 75 and 100% (w/w) of its total concentration (8%). These rations were fed ad libitum from 8 to 42 days of age. At the end of trial, blood samples (5ml each) from 3 birds/replicate were collected in sterilized disposable syringes. The serum was analyzed for the determination of blood glucose, cholesterol and liver function tests i.e. AST, ALT and ALP. The data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique under Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results revealed that the values of blood glucose, total cholesterol, ALT, AST and ALP were lowest in group E while these values were the highest in control group A. However, all these values were found within the normal range. It was concluded that replacement of canola meal with MOLM in broiler ration exhibited a significant (P<0.05) effect on hemato-chemical properties in broiler.

“…Basados en la revisión bibliográfica realizada se identificaron pocos estudios donde se haya utilizado hoja de moringa para alimentar pollos de engorda. En este sentido, se han realizado trabajos para evaluar el efecto de la hoja de moringa en la morfología del intestino y la condición de otros órganos internos (15,16) , el contenido de ácidos grasos en la pechuga (17) , en la fuerza de la tibia y su contenido de minerales (18) , el peso, la hematología y respuesta inmune (4,19) . De estos reportes solo dos investigaciones han realizado estudios para evaluar el efecto de la hoja de moringa en la ganancia en el peso (4,19) ; sin embargo, uno de ellos fue realizado con Moringa stenopetala (4) que es una especie diferente a la Moringa oleífera, utilizada en este estudio, aunque son del mismo género.…”

Es necesario explorar fuentes de proteína alterna para adicionar a la alimentación de aves en regiones rurales. Son contados los estudios realizados en moringa para este propósito. Se determinó el análisis proximal, el contenido de Fe, Ca y taninos a la harina de hoja de moringa. Se evaluó el efecto del consumo de una dieta con 10 % de harina sobre cuatro parámetros productivos y seis serológicos (dos proteínas y cuatro enzimas) en pollos de engorda Ross-308. También se realizaron estudios histopatológicos del hígado y riñón de los pollos. La hoja de moringa presentó 33.4 % de proteína y un alto contenido de hierro (19.7 mg/100 g) y calcio (2593.3 mg/100 g) así como bajo contenido de taninos (24.4 mg EC/100 g). Se observó una reducción del 12 y 20 % en la ganancia en peso y en el índice de productividad, respectivamente, en los pollos a los que se les adicionó moringa. No se observaron diferencias entre el grupo control y el adicionado con moringa en el contenido de proteínas y la actividad de la alanino aminotransferasa y la aspartato aminotransferasa, pero si en la albúmina, la fosfatasa alcalina y la gama galutamil transpeptidasa, que sugiere cierto daño hepático y renal. Estos resultados no se observaron en los estudios histológicos. Se sugiere seguir realizando estudios con niveles de complementación menor con la harina de moringa para comparar los efectos encontrados en el presente estudio y así poder definir su uso potencial.
