Three studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of Moringa oleifera leaf powder and leaf meal on chicken layer and
broiler diets. The effect of different levels of Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) on laying performance of 480
Lohmann LSL Classic, 27- week old and the post-molting performance of 240 heads, 89- week old forced-molted
Lohmann LSL Classic with 72% egg production were both conducted in four months. They were randomly distributed in
Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to 5 dietary treatments with 6-replicate per treatment. One hundred fifty day-old
Cobbs broiler were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 30 birds
per treatment. The treatments include: T1- Basal diets; T2-0.20% MOLM; T3-0.30% MOLM; T4-0.40% MOLM; T5-
0.50% MOLM. The results reveal that feed consumption, FCR, % egg production, income over feed cost, sensory
characteristics of egg and shell thickness of 27-42 and 89-101 week old layers were not significantly different
(P0.05).
Broiler performance in-terms of ADG, feed intake, FCR, final weight and income over feed cost were not relatively
better over the control.
