Effects of Moringa oleifera Leaf Powder as Feed Additives on Growth Performance and Blood Parameters of Broiler

Abstract

The current experiment was designed to investigate the impact of Moringa Leaf Powder as feed additives on growth performance and blood parameters of broilers. For this purpose, total of 240 DOC (Cobb-500) were purchased from the local market. On day of arrival at the farm, chicks were weighed and were divided equally into 4 experimental groups group A, group B, group C and group D having 3 replicas each containing 20 chicks in each replica. Standard feeding and managemental conditions were given to the chicks throughout the experimental period. Group A was considered as control group (no treatment). Group B, C and D were supplemented the Moringa leaf powder with the percentage of 0.5%, 0.1% and 0.15%, respectively. From the obtained results, it was found that the broilers in the group D were had higher weight gain and FCR (p<0.05) as compared to group A, B and C. Furthermore, the H:L of group D was also lowest (p<0.05) (minimum oxidative stress) as compared to group A, B and C. Hence it was concluded that Moringa leaf powder supplemented with the dose of 0.15% had best effect on productive performance and hematology of the broilers. On the basis of results of current study it was concluded that MOLP supplementation in feed had best effects on the productive performance of the broilers. It was also concluded that MOLP had no effect on the mortality of the broilers.

Karakterisasi Protein Total Konsentrat Daun Kelor (Moringa oleifera Lam) Menggunakan Spektrofotometer UV-VIS

“…Besarnya kandungan protein pada kelor membuat kelor menjadi pilihan yang ideal sebagai suplemen pada pakan ternak guna mendapatkan pakan ternak yang berkualitas. Mengingat potensi nutrisi dalam tanaman, dapat dianggap sebagai pengganti pakan tambahan (Khalid et al, 2021). Suplemen yang berasal dari Moringa oleifera telah dilaporkan dapat meningkatkan kinerja pertumbuhan dan 204 BRILIANT: Jurnal Riset dan Konseptual Volume 7 Nomor 1, Februari 2022 respon imun pada hewan ternak (Olugbemi et al, 2010).…”

Effect of dietary Moringa oleifera on production performance and gut health in broilers

“…The ability of MO to enhance growth traits, successfully prevent intestinal morphological atrophy, relieve oxidative damage, and downregulate mRNA expression of mucosal inflammatory genes in the jejunum under oxidative stress [ 12 ]. The findings indicate that there were notable variations in growth characteristics and feed costs.…”

“…Moreover, chick diet supplements with MO indicate greater performance (production) and immunity than untreated chicks [ 11 ]. The dietary leaf powder of MO might enhance physiological and physiochemical features as well as intestinal health in birds, which is linked to the Moringa leaf’s capacity to reduce inflammation in the intestinal tract [ 12 ].…”

Performance and Haematological Profile of Broiler Chickens Fed Diet Containing Atung (Parinarium glaberrimumHassk.) Seed Powder

“…Plant-origin contains active compounds that have biological activities, especially antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulatory properties which are known to be helpful for the animal's health and enhance productivity (Windisch et al, 2008;Hashemi and Davoodi, 2010). Some previous studies showed that administration of phytobiotics feed additives improved the growth rate and feed efficiency (Abu-Dieyeh and Abu-Darwish, 2008;Oso et al, 2019;Ampode and Asimpen, 2021;Khalid et al, 2021) in broiler chickens. Administration of phytobiotic additives has also been reported to affect hematological parameters in broiler chickens (Ansari et al, 2012;Basit et al, 2020), which is a good indicator in evaluating the physiological and health status of animals.…”
