Effect of dietary inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf on productive performance, egg quality, antioxidant capacity and lipid levels in laying chickens

This study was performed to evaluate dietary Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) inclusion on productive performance, egg quality, internal organ index, antioxidant capacity and lipid metabolism in hens at late laying stage. The control (CON) group received basal diet, while the MOLP2.5, MOLP5, MOLP...

After six weeks, laying performance, feed intake, egg quality, organ index, antioxidant capacity and lipid indices were analysed.
