Effect of Moringa oleifera Leaf Extract on Performance, Hemato-biochemical Parameters and Economics of Broiler Production

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extracts supplementation on performance, hemato-biochemical parameters and economics of broiler chickens. Methods: Different dietary treatments were; basal diet with no supplement (NC- negative control) and basal diet supplemented with antibiotics (PC-positive control), aqueous extract of 1.5% Moringa powder (MOAQE), ether extract of 1.5% Moringa powder (MOEE) and alcoholic extract of 1.5% Moringa powder (MOALE). The effect of these supplements on feed intake, weight gain, growth rate, FCR, hemato-biochemical parameters and on economic return was assessed in a five-week study. Result: The FCR of Moringa extract supplemented and PC group was significantly better than NC group. Cholesterol and triglyceride value of Moringa extract group was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower than PC and NC group. Profit and profit index of PC and MOAQE group was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher than other groups. The findings of this study indicated that Moringa extract improved weight gain, feed efficiency and economic returns in broiler chickens and may be used as phytogenic growth promoter in broiler production.
