“…ALT, albumin, total protein, globulin, and the albumin/ globulin ratio (A/G) were not affected due to any dietary treatment. Laying hens in the ML group had a lower concentration of albumen (ALB) and urea (UA) than those in the control group (p < 0.05) [36]. AST decreased with M. oleifera supplementation.…”

“…Whereas, egg index, shell percent, yolk percent, albumen percent, Haugh unit, and yolk index were not affected by the dietary supplementation. There was no difference in Haugh units, eggshell strength, or egg shape index among the groups (p > 0.05) in response to dietary M. oleifera leaves [34][35][36]. Ebenebe et al [37] reported that adding MOL had no effect on egg shape index that's correlated with the strength of an eggshell and the grade of eggs.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaves and/or seed powder on laying Japanese quail performance in terms of egg production, egg quality, blood serum characteristics, and reproduction. In total, 168 Japanese quails (120 hens and 48 males) at eight weeks of age in laying period were randomly distributed to four treatment groups, with six replicates per group and seven birds (five hens and two males) per replicate. The first group (G1) served as a control group, while G2, G3 and G4 groups were supplemented with M. oleifera leaves (ML) and M. oleifera seeds (MS) and their combination ((1 g/kg ML; 1 g/kg MS; and 1 ML g/kg + 1 MS g/kg (MSL), respectively). From the results, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, egg weight, fertility and hatchability from fertile eggs, egg and yolk index, and Haugh unit were not affected by dietary treatments. However, egg production, egg mass, eggshell thickness, and hatchability were significantly increased and blood aspartate transaminase (AST) and urea decreased in the MS treatment. Both triglycerides and total cholesterol were reduced (p < 0.05) in all treatments with ML, MS, and MSL, with no significant differences in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, total protein, globulin, and A/G ratio among dietary treatment. Our results clearly indicated that the inclusion of M. oleifera seeds in Japanese quail diet significantly increased egg production and improved hatchability, along with some egg quality parameters, and also lowered some blood biochemical components.

“…Significant decrease in GPT and GOT with Moringa oleifera supplementation reported by Annongu et al (2013) which may attribute to Moringa oleifera have relative hepatic architectural improvements and induced liver damage (Bahr and Farouk, 2016). The results of liver enzymes disagreement with (Lu et al, 2016) who reported that fed layers in 15% Moringa oleifera meal had higher GOT activity. Their dissimilarity results may be due to feeding so high Moringa oleifera meal level nevertheless, they found no significant effects of supplementary Moringa oleifera leaf up to 10% on GOT and GPT activity.…”

“…Feeding layers Moringa oleifera leaf 10% and 15% supplementation had higher malondialdehyde content than those in control group (p<0.05) moreover supplementary Moringa oleifera leaf increased the activity of glutathione peroxidase (p<0.05) (Lu et al, 2016). Jalo et al (2016) reported that supplementing laying chickens' diet with M. oleifera seed meal at (0.04, 0.08, 0.12 and 0.16%) has no significant effect on feed intake whereas egg weight improved significantly at 0.16%.…”

he objective of the experiment was to study the effect of adding germinated Moringa oleifera seeds (GMOS) on egg production performance, egg quality, some physiological parameters and reproduction performance of Japanese quail. A total number of 120 female and 60 male Japanese quail 60 day old were distributed randomly into four treatment groups, contained 3 replicates of 10 female and 5male per each. Dietary treatments were designed to contain 0.0 (control), 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% germinated Moringa oleifera seed (GMOS) as growth promoters. Egg production parameter, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, some physiological and reproduction parameters were determined. The results demonstrated that, 0.5% GMOS supplementation recorded the highest egg production percent and 0.25% recorded the highest average egg weight during different periods. Supplementation of GMOS at 0.25% and 0.5% levels had significantly (P≤0.05) higher WBCs, RBCs, Hb and Ht than control treatment. Increasing GMOS level up to 0.75% recorded significantly (P ˂ 0.05) the highest total plasma protein and globulin. Total lipid, cholesterol and LDL significantly decreased, consequently, HDL increased significantly by GMOS supplementation. Diet supplemented with 0.5% GMOS presented significantly decreased (P≤0.05) liver enzymes and increased total antioxidant capacity and obtained the most excellent fertility, hatchability, dead and deformed percentage. In conclusion, germinated Moringa oleifera seeds supplementation at levels of 0.25,0.50 and 0.75% to Japanese quail diets improved egg production performance, egg quality, most hematological parameters, plasma component and reproductive performance.

“…oleifera is very useful as a dietary supplement for animals, because the leaves are a highly nutritious protein source and include other essential nutrients as well (Babiker, Juhaimia, Ghafoora, & Abdoun, 2017;Yusuf, Mlambo, & Iposu, 2018). The leaves of M. oleifera contain fairly high quantities of essential amino acids (Lu, Wang, Zhang, Wu, & Qi, 2016) and are rich with vitamin A, B, C, K and E and pro-vitamin A as beta-carotene in addition to minerals such as Ca, P, Zn, Fe, Mg, K, Cu, Na, Mn (Chelliah, Ramakrishnan, & Antony, 2017;Leone et al, 2015). Moreover, M. oleifera was reported to be an excellent source of important bioactive compounds as its leaves are rich in total phenols and saponins and can serve as a novel plant to develop anticoccidial drugs and new therapeutic compounds (Alabi, Malik, & Ng'ambi, Obaje, & Ojo, 2017).…”

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.
