“…Most of the β-carotene is enriched in egg yolk, whereas quercetin is enriched in egg albumin in chelation with amino acids. Similar results were reported in other studies in which nutritionists used canthacol, M. oleifera leaf meal, tomato peel, coloured carrots, and apple skin to enrich egg yolk with β-carotene and quercetin (Olson et al, 2008;Gakuya et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014). Similarly, various studies showed the positive impact of M. oleifera on antioxidant compound deposition in chicken egg yolks (Mbikay, 2012).…”

“…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. As reported by Gakuya et al (2014), egg quality parameters remained unchanged in the treatment groups throughout the supplementation period. Contrary to the current results, other experiments reported that plants containing bioactive compounds, such as essential oils, flavonoids, and carotenoids, affect Haugh unit and shell thickness positively (Nobakht & Moghaddam, 2013;Abbas, 2013 (Gakuya et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2014).…”

This type of response may be attributed to higher levels of β-carotene and quercetin, 2.7-3.10 mg and 80-150 mg per 100g pods, respectively (Lako et al, 2007;Tesfaye et al, 2014).…”

Effect of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> (Lam.) pods as feed additive on egg antioxidants, chemical composition and performance of commercial layers

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________

Phytogenic feed additives have been increasingly used in the last decade, and several plants and their metabolites have been investigated for the said purpose. In this context, present study aimed at evaluating the effects of Moringa oleifera as feed additive on layer performance, and egg bioactive compound levels and nutrient profile. HyLine W36 layers (n=200), 50 weeks of age, were randomly distributed in four treatments with five replicates of ten birds each. Four isocaloric (2725 kcal/kg) and isonitrogenous (CP 16%) diets were formulated and supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5% (w/w) of dried Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MLM). The results showed positive effects of MLM on egg production, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio, but negative effects on egg quality (p≤0.05). The contents of bioactive compounds, like β-carotene, quercetin, and selenium, in the diet and in the egg yolk were significantly (p≤0.05) higher in the group fed1.5% MLM, with values of 8.90, 48.88, and 0.54 mg/kg feed and 4906, 241 and 56.82 µg/100g yolk, respectively. Creatinine and glucose serum levels and cholesterol levels (serum and eggs) linearly increased as a function of increasing MLM dietary levels (p≤0.05). Antibody titers against Newcastle Disease significantly improved (p≤0.05) in the group fed the diet supplemented with 1.5% MLM. It was concluded that Moringa oleifera used as phytogenic feed additive enriches eggs with bioactive and functional compounds, and improves the production performance and the health status of layers.

“…(Gadzirayi et al, 2012) recommends that the inclusion of Moringa leaf meal as protein supplement in broiler diets at 25% inclusion levels produces broilers of similar weight and growth rate compared to those fed under conventional commercial feeds. Similarly, (Nihad et al, 2016;Gakuya et al, 2014;David et al, 2012) reported that broilers fed 20% M. olifera meal showed better weight gain and feed conversion ratio than in control group. Birds fed 20% Moringa leaf meal had 2391 grams compared to the treatment with 2133 grams.…”

Moringa oleifera commonly referred to as the drumstick tree is a plant from the Moringaceae family. It is a medicinal plant that was found to be loaded with different bioactive chemicals or secondary metabolites such as vitamins, minerals, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids and carotenoids etc, which are involved in enhancing a long term health benefits. M. olifera is among the most promising species based on their high antioxidant activity, high contents of micro-nutrients, processing properties, ease of growing, and also on palatability, stability and shelf life of animal products. It has a relatively high protein content which varies from 24%-32%, the leaves are used as a food source for humans and a dry season feed for animals because of the nutrient contents it contains. It has been traditionally used in the treatment of many ailments throughout the world and has been scientifically proven to act as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antiulcer, analgesics and antiepileptic drug. With the increasing popularity on the usage of Moringa olifera in the diets of animals and the positive impact recorded, this review is a collection of different works by authors on using Moringa olifera in poultry and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus).
