“…Body weight was usually found to be improved in response to the Moringa treatment, although instances of no improved effects have also been reported [ 65 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 92 ]. According to Zanu et al [ 88 ], when Moringa leaf meal was added to the diet, the final body weight and mean body weight decreased dramatically.…”

Because of developing bacterial resistance and increased public awareness of health and food safety problems, the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in the chicken industry has been outlawed. This problem has spurred the poultry industry and sector to explore for safe antibiotic alternatives and to focus on developing better long-term feed management solutions in order to improve chicken health and growth. As a result, phytogenics have developed as natural antibiotic alternatives, with a lot of potential in the poultry industry. Moringa oleifera has gotten a lot of attention from researchers in the recent past as a natural product with a lot of health advantages for poultry. Moringa is known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypocholesterolemic properties, as well as its capacity to activate digestive enzymes in the stomach, owing to the presence of hundreds of essential ingredients. The potential influence of M. oleifera as a natural feed supplement on overall gut health, nutritional digestibility, blood biochemical profile, antioxidant benefits, antibacterial potential, and immunological response is emphasized in this review.

“…Soliman et al ( 14 ) demonstrated the protective effects of MO leaves extract against oxidative stress and hepatic and renal injuries caused by methotrexate (MTX) therapy. Kumar et al ( 18 ) showed that the addition of 90 mL/L of MO leaves aqueous extract to the drinking water of broilers improved the antioxidant levels, immunity and significantly reduced serum lipid peroxidation levels in broilers. Although MO leaves aqueous extract with antioxidant activity, the composition is complex and the effective components of action cannot be clarified, which has some drawbacks in the in-depth study of specific mechanisms.…”

Moringa oleifera leaves are a kind of new food raw materials, rich in functional factors, M. oleifera leaves aqueous extract have antioxidant activity and M. oleifera leave protein is an important active ingredient in the aqueous extract. Numerous studies have shown that peptides have strong antioxidant activity. To reveal the antioxidant effects of M. oleifera (MO) leaves peptides, MO leave antioxidant peptides were isolated and prepared to clarify their antioxidant activity. MLPH1 (<1 kDa), MLPH3 (1~3 kDa), MLPH5 (3~5 kDa), and MLPH10 (5~10 kDa) fractions were obtained by the membrane ultrafiltration classification of MO leaves proteolytic hydrolysate (MLPH). MLPH1 was further separated by centrifugal filters, and the fraction separated by <1 kDa (MLPH1-1) was identified and analyzed by LC–MS/MS. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of MO leaves antioxidant peptide pretreatment on H2O2-treated HepG2 cells and to refine the antioxidant activity. The results showed that MLPH1 had the strongest antioxidant activity, and three MO leaves antioxidant peptides (LALPVYN, LHIAALVFQ, and FHEEDDAKLF) were obtained. The peptide with the sequence LALPVYN and a molecular weight of 788.44 Da had the strongest antioxidant activity. After 24 h of LALPVYN pretreatment, the cell viability and the CAT, GSH-Px, and SOD enzyme activity were significantly increased, and the MDA, ROS, and apoptosis rates were significantly decreased. These results provide a theoretical basis for further research on the antioxidant mechanism of MO leaves peptides.

“…According to Winiarska-Mieczan et al [29], exogenous antioxidants induce the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH in the muscle tissue of broiler chickens leading to the protection of the cellular membranes from peroxidation. Kumar et al [30] stated in their findings that the use of ascorbic acid and Moringa oleifera in broiler chickens raised in the tropics augmented the activities of CAT, SOD and GSH, and lipid peroxidation was reduced significantly. This was based on the ability of the above antioxidants to attach to the cytoplasmic membrane and inhibit oxidases.…”

Oxidative stress negatively affects the welfare of broiler chickens leading to poor productivity and even death. This study examined the negative effect of heat stress on antioxidant enzyme activities, small intestinal morphology and performance in broiler chickens administered probiotic and ascorbic acid during the hot summer season, under otherwise controlled conditions. The study made use of 56 broiler chickens; which were divided into control; probiotic (1 g/kg); ascorbic acid (200 mg/kg) and probiotic + ascorbic acid (1 g/kg and 200 mg/kg, respectively). All administrations were given via feed from D1 to D35 of this study. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities were highly significant (p < 0.0001) in the treatment groups compared to the control. Performance indicators (water intake and body weight gain) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the probiotic and probiotic + ascorbic acid group. The height of duodenal, jejunal and ileal villi, and goblet cell counts of broiler chickens were significantly different in the treatment groups. In conclusion, the study showed that heat stress negatively affects the levels of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, performance and the morphology of small intestinal epithelium, while the antioxidants were efficacious in ameliorating these adverse effects.
