“…The current results suggest that broiler chickens responded positively to an MOL diet in which haematological and biochemical parameters and antioxidant status were regulated advantageously, and this result is in accordance with a previously published report (Hassan et al, ). However, except for WBC as reported by Castillo et al () in Japanese quail and Etchu et al () in rabbits.…”

“…The results revealed that MOL could improve the growth performance of broilers, which is consistent with the findings of (El‐Badawi et al, ; Helal, El‐Badawi, El‐Wardany, Ali, & Aboelazab, ). Similarly, Hassan et al () reported that the addition of M. oleifera leaves meal up to 0.3% in broiler diets improved the growth performance of broilers. Teteh et al () found that broilers fed diets containing 1% and 2% of MOL showed a higher BWG than those fed the control diet.…”

In this study, we investigated the effect of Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) supplements on the performance, ileal microbiota carcass traits and biochemical and antioxidant parameters of broiler chickens. MOL was added to starter, grower and finisher diets at four levels (0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 5.0%). A total of 320 one‐day‐old mixed‐sex Cobb‐500 broiler chicks were divided equally into four treatment groups, with 5 replicates of 16 chicks each until 42 days of age. Compared to the control group, chicks fed 0.5% and 1% MOL exhibited a higher final body weight (FBW), greater weight gain (BWG), and better average daily gain (ADG). Feed intake (FI) gradually decreased as the inclusion rate of MOL in the broilers' diet increased to 5%. The best feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and performance index (PI) were observed in broilers that were fed the MOL diet. The percentage of abdominal fat in broilers decreased significantly in response to dietary supplementation with MOL. The haematological profile in the MOL group revealed a lower WBC count and lymphocyte percentage but higher heterophil and H/L ratio without affecting haemoglobin and RBC count. The inclusion of MOL increased total serum protein, Ca and P levels but decreased glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, AST and ALT concentrations. Moreover, dietary MOL increased the activities of GSH, CAT and SOD, GPx and GST while decreasing the TBARS level. The pH value decreased in the ileum of broilers fed the 1% and 5% MOL diet compared to the other treatments. Decreased ileal counts of E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus spp. were observed whereas the total ileal Lactobacillus spp. count increased in broilers fed the MOL diet. In conclusion, the MOL supplement can enhance growth performance and antioxidant status, alter ileal microbiota and protect against enteropathogens with no deleterious effects on the broiler chickens.

Moringa oleifera has been considered as a potential functional feed or food, since it contains multiple components beneficial to animal and human. However, little is known about the effects of Moringa oleifera supplementation on productive performances in sows. In the current study, the results showed that dietary Moringa oleifera significantly decreased the farrowing length and the number of stillborn (p < .05), while had an increasing trend in the number of live‐born (0.05 < p < .10). Furthermore, 8% Moringa oleifera supplementation significantly elevated protein levels in the colostrum (p < .05); 4% Moringa oleifera lowed serum urea nitrogen of sows after 90 days of gestation (p < .05) and significantly decreased serum glucose on 10 days of lactation (p < .05). Both groups showed significant elevation in serum T‐AOC activity (p < .05). The serum malondialdehyde (MDA) of sows declined significantly in 4% Moringa oleifera addition group (p < .05). 8% Moringa oleifera meal significantly elevated serum CAT activity after 60 days of gestation (p < .05), while decreased the serum MDA level and increased the serum GSH‐Px activity of sows at 10 days of lactation (p < .05). Of piglets, both two dosages of Moringa oleifera supplementation essentially reduced the serum urea nitrogen (p < .05), and 4% Moringa oleifera meal increased serum total protein (p < .05). In addition, piglets that received 8% Moringa oleifera had the highest serum CAT and SOD activities among all groups (p < .05). The present study indicated that Moringa oleifera supplementation could enhance the reproduction performances, elevate protein levels in the colostrum and improve the serum antioxidant indices in both sows and piglets.

“…Core body temperature, in term of rectal temperature (RT) is a good indicator for the animal response to fluctuations in air temperature (Marai et al 2002). During exposure of Broiler chicks to heat stress, lipid oxidant increased following increasing the generation of free radicals, which elevates reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and cellular oxidative stress induction ( Hassan et al 2016).…”

his study was conducted to evaluate whether adding Moringa oleifera dry leaves powder (MODLP) as a natural anti-oxidants in the diet, has the potential to attenuate the negative effects of heat stress on growth performance, healthy status, anti-oxidant defense system and immunity of growing rabbits. Weaned NZW rabbits (n=120) were divided into four groups fed basal diet with 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg MODLP/kg. Growth performance parameters were recorded at age intervals from 5-13 wk. Caecal activity, carcass traits, hematological, serum biochemicals, antioxidant and immunity were determined at 13 wk of age. Results show that dietary addition of 200 mg MODLP/kg increased (P<0.05) pulse rate, growth performance parameters, net carcass weight, dressing rate and spleen percentages, beneficial bacteria (lactobacillus) count, hematological parameters, serum high-density lipoproteins, total antioxidant capacity, antibody titer and lysozyme. Abdominal fat percentage, E. coli count, and total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances concentration reduced (P<0.05) 200 mg/kg group. The current study indicated that alleviation of adverse impacts due to heat stress on productivity, blood constituents, oxidative stress and immunity status, can be achieved in growing rabbits through dietary adding Moringa Oleifera dried leaves at a level of 200 mg/kg diet.
