“…Similar results have been reported in other studies that showed the positive effect of Moringa on EM (Olugbemi, 2010). Contrary to these results, Paguia et al (2014) used low levels (0% to 0.5%) of Moringa leaf meal and reported that feed consumption, FCR and egg production remained unchanged.…”

“…Quercetin in smaller quantities potentiates phytoestrogens, but in higher quantities may act as antagonists and block receptors and finally result in lowered antioxidant activity and Haugh unit of eggs yolk (Liu et al, 2014). Low egg shell thickness in birds supplemented with Diet D could be attributed to the antinutritional factors present in Moringa pods that disturb the calcium metabolism (Olugbemi et al 2010;Paguia et al, 2014). Similar results were reported by Tesfaye et al (2014), who showed that egg quality parameters such as Haugh unit and shell thickness did not change with increasing levels of Moringa in the diet, whereas feed efficiency increased.…”

The present study was designed to investigate the influence of Moringa oleifera (Lam.) pod meal (MPM) on production, immunity, and functional food index of chicken eggs. Two hundred HyLine W36 layer birds aged 50 weeks, 1469 ± 46.63 g, were assigned to four treatments in a completely randomized design, with five replicates and ten birds each. Diets A, B, C, and D were formulated with the same caloric and protein levels, but with differing MPM dose levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15g MPM/kg finisher diet, respectively. Data for production performance, quality, and chemical composition of eggs were analysed by one-way ANOVA, and means were compared with Duncan's multiple range test. As a result of this study, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and egg mass (EM) were significantly decreased and recorded lowest in Group B, which was offered 5 g/kg above the basal diet. Bioactives such as β-carotene, quercetin, and selenium levels were increased (540, 121, & 72.21µg/100g of yolk, respectively), whereas cholesterol levels in egg yolk and serum were decreased significantly, that is, 201.87 mg/100g and 8.47 mg/dl, respectively. Serum biochemical indicators, including serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), glucose, creatinine and cholesterol levels, were lowered significantly. Proximate analysis of egg yolk showed that moisture and ether extract were decreased, whereas crude protein (CP), ash and minerals, sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P) contents were increased. The outcomes of this study showed that MPM supplementation affects EM, serum biochemistry and bioactive compounds of the egg yolk positively. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…Unigwe et al, (2016) also reported that broiler chickens fed diets containing different levels (0 %, 5 %, 10 % and 15 %) of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) leaf meal showed no significant effect on average body weight gain, feed intake, FCR and protein efficiency ratio. The result from this study was also in agreement with the observation by Paguia et al (2014) who established that using different amounts of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (0 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 %, 0.4 %, 0.5 %) in broiler and layer ration, did not significantly influence the broiler' feed intake, weight gain, final body weight and FCR, and also had non-significant effects on feed consumption, FCR and egg production in layer chickens. It seemed that the incorporation levels of leaf meals did not affect the palatability of the diets (Odulate et al, 2014).…”

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of supplementing green feed-water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) to basal diet on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. A total of 120 male Cobb 500 broiler chickens aged 21 days were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments by using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Each treatment consisted of five replicates and eight birds per replicate. From 22-49 days, the grower chickens were exposed to the three different experimental diets: diet 1-basal diet containing 0.4 % vitamin-mineral premix (control), diet 2basal diet containing 0.2 % vitamin-mineral premix + 34.5 g fresh water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), and diet 3-basal diet without vitamin-mineral premix + 69 g fresh water spinach. Growth performances were measured and calculated on weekly basis. On day 49, three birds of each treatment group with almost similar body weight were selected and placed in individual cages. Feed intake was recorded for each bird every day and total faeces were collected on three consecutive days. In order to calculate the digestibility value of experimental diets, the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) content of feed and faeces were determined. There were no significant effects on growth performances through feed consumption, body weight, weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of broiler chickens. The digestibility of feed DM and feed CP was not significantly different (P>0.05) among the treatments. Further, diets supplemented with water spinach had no adverse effect on growth performance and nutrients digestibility of broiler chickens. It can be concluded that the more expensive vitamin-mineral component of the ration can be replaced by the lower cost and widely available water spinach.

“…Contrary to the results found by the above researchers, Ahmed et al (2017) found Moringa oleifera seed pod meal to have no effect on FI. Similarly, Paguia et al (2014) found the inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal to have no effect on FI.…”

The objective of the study was to determine how the partial supplementation of Moringa oleifera whole seed meal (MOWSM) would affect layer performance, egg quality and egg fatty acid profile. One hundred and forty-four Hy-Line hens in early-lay (20-weeks-old), with an average body weight of 1.45 kg were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments which were formulated to meet or exceed the National Research Council standards for brown-egg laying hens. Dietary treatments consisted of 0 (control), 1, 3, and 5% MOWSM. Layer performance was monitored over a period of 8 weeks. The inclusion of MOWSM in layer diets reduced feed intake, bodyweight, the rate of lay, egg weight, and egg mass. Yolk colour was significantly improved by 1, 3 and 5% inclusion levels, while the albumen height decreased. The albumen weight, yolk weight, eggshell weight, eggshell thickness, and egg shape index showed no statistical differences across all treatment groups. Similarly, the saturated fatty acid profile was also not affected. Palmitoleic acid decreased with the increase in MOWSM inclusion, whilst linolelaidic acid increased. The atherogenicity index was not affected by MOWSM inclusion, while the thrombogenicity index increased when compared to the control diet. It was concluded that, although MOWSM inclusion improved yolk colour, maintained external egg quality, and improved the fatty acid profile, the deleterious effect that it had on layer performance indicated that it may not be fed to early-lay hens at these respective levels.
