“…The inclusion of aqueous MOL resulted in a significant ( p < .05) influence on the relative weight of the lymphoid organs. This is in line with the results of (Teteh et al, ) who reported that the highest relative weight of the spleen, bursa and thymus was observed in groups receiving 1% and 2% Moringa.…”

“…The total phenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins contents of the MOL extract were 3.38%, 4.64% and 1.93% respectively. Teteh, Lawson, Tona, Decuypere, and Gbeassor () reported that the quantities of total flavonoids, phenols and tannins were 0.2%, 4.2% and 2.38% respectively.…”

“…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. The decrease in FI could be explained by impaired palatability due to the presence of greater amount of condensed tannins when MOL was supplemented above 1%.…”

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.

“…Healthy broiler chicks received Moringa leaf extract (watery and alcoholic) resulted a significant increase in body weight, weight gain and improved in feed conversion rate (table, 5). These obtained results go in agreement with [32], [33] and [34] in broiler chickens supplemented with moringa extract. varying concentrations of moringa aqueous leaf extract induce increase in body weight gain and improved in feed conversion rate in Cobb broilers [35].…”

Cloacal swabs were collected from 300 broiler chicks (50 dead, 50 diseased and 200 healthy) for bacteriological examintion. Out of 300 examined cloacal swabs 26 (52%) dead, 28 (56%) diseased and 28 (14%) from healthy chicks were positive for bacteria. Moringa oleifera leaf extract inhibits growth of E. coli and Salmonella spp. Post bacteriological examination 120 chicks free from bacterial infection, one day old were divided into 3 equal groups. 1st group healthy chicks (control), 2nd and 3rd groups chicks received 200 mg/ kgm bwt watery and alcoholic moringa oleifera leaf extract daily for 30 successive days in drinking water respectively. Effect of moringa leaf extract on body weight, feed conversion rate and haemato-biochemical analysis beside pathological changes of some internal organ were study. Moringa leaf extracts (watery & alcoholic) induced significant increase in body weight gain, RBCs, Hb, PCV% WBCs, total proteins, albumin, globulins, SOD beside significant decrease in MDA and insignificant increase in AST, ALT, ALP but urea and creatinine insignificantly decreased and improved in feed conversion rate. Histopathological investigation revealed, Hepatic tissue, congestion and hyperplasia in bile duct epithelium. Renal tubules undergo interstitial aggregation of lymphocytes and regeneration. Intestine shows slight edema. spleen and bursa show hyperplasia of lymphocyte in white pulp. It could be concluded that Moringa leaf extract act antibacterial, growth promoter, antioxidant and have benefits effect in immunity and hemato-biochemical parameters.

“…(Ali et al, 2008). Farooq et al (2007) also revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins and flavonoids in M. oleifera leaves extract but in different proportions (Teteh et al, 2013). The age of the plant, the harvest period of the plant, the climate, the method of extraction, the type of soil could explain the differences noticed.…”

Moringa oleifera is a commonly cultivated plant in the world. It has a high economic impact owing to its medicinal and nutritional values. Leaves of M. oleifera also contain various constituents that are useful for therapeutic purposes. The aim of this study is (i) to perform phytochemical screening, and to check antiradical and antihyperglycaemic activities of M. oleifera aqueous leaves extract (ii) to control the impact of this aqueous extract on the liver parameters of wistar rats. The analysis was carried out on a few large families of bioactive molecules such as triterpenoids, alkaloids, anthraquinones, coumarins, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, anthocyanes, leucoanthocyanes, reducing sugar, mucilage and cyanogenic. With a concentration of 2.47 ± 0.26 mmol EAA/mg, the plant has a good antioxidant activity. Antihyperglycemic capacity was evaluated by using oral glucose tolerance test. The α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method was used to show antiradical activity. The impact of aqueous leaves extract of M. oleifera on some biochemical parameters of Wistar rats (150 to 200 g) was shown. The contents of total phenolic, flavonoids and condensed tannins were respectively 46.242±2.44 (mmolEAA/mg of extract); 10.80±0.64 (mg Eq of rutine/mg of extract); 2.85±1.018 (mg Eq of catechine/mg of extract). The results of the acute oral toxicity test showed that the dose of 2000 mg/kg was non-toxic to the rats. The haematological and blood parameters did not change after administration of the plant aqueous extract. Glycemia reduction was observed with the dose of 500 mg/kg. The important results obtained in this study explain the abundant use of this plant by the populations in the treatment of diabetes. However, it would be necessary to confirm the non-toxicity of the plant by histological studies of the liver and kidneys.
