One hundred and twenty (120), Yaffer laying hens,
already four months in lay were divided, into two
groups of sixty (60) hens each and randomly
assigned to the two treatment diets in a completely
randomized design (CRD). Each group was further
sub-divided into three replicates of twenty hens per
replicate and housed in a deep litter Pen measuring 5
X 10m.Feed and water were provided ad-libitum
during the trial period.
A twelve (12) - week feeding trial was conducted to
evaluate the inclusion levels of Moringa Oleifera
leaf meal for laying hens at two dietary levels of 0%
and 10% respectively. One hundred and twenty
(120), Yaffer laying hens already four months in lay
were divided into two groups of sixty (60) hens each
and randomly assigned to the two treatment diets in
completely randomized design (CRD). Each group
was further sub-divided into three (3) replicates of
twenty hens per replicate and housed in a deep litter
pen measuring 5 X 10m.
There were no significant differences (P >0.05) in
body weight gain, Haugh unit, shell thickness,
Albumen and Yolk indices, horizontal and oblong
circumferences and egg weight among the treatment
groups. However there were significant differences
