Abstract Moringa oleifera (MO) is a widely used as the nutritious and non-traditional feed supplementation containing kinds of bioactive substances. However, the enhancement effect of Moringa oleifera leaf Polysaccharide (MOLP) as a feed additive in broilers growth performance and immunity remains unclear. In this study, MOLP was obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation method, then purified with Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) assay. Chickens were randomly divided into 4 groups, to receive different doses of MOLP (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4g/kg) in feed for 3 weeks. The body weight gain (BWG) and feed consumption were recorded for feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) calculation. Broiler chickens were sacrificed and sampled on day 14, 21, 28 (D 14, D 21, and D 28) respectively. Serological indicators, including total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO), and creatinine (CREA) were detected. ELISA kits were applied for detecting the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). From D 21 to D 28, the results showed that middle dose of MOLP significantly increased BWG and ADFI as well as liver and bursa indexes when compared with the control group. In addition, TP and GLO were also increased (P<0.05). All MOLP treatments enhanced the serum concentrations of IgG and IL-2 (P<0.01). Furthermore, results of quantitative RT-PCR showed that high dose of MOLP treatment significantly increased (P<0.001) the mRNA expression levels of IL-2 and TNF-α of chickens relative to the control group. In conclusion, the results showed that MOLP supplementation contributed to improve growth performance and immune response in broiler chickens, and MOLP could be considered as a promising feed additive.

A study was conducted to assess the growth performance of broiler chickens fed Moringa oleifera leaf (MOL) feed supplement and challenged with a very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV). Two hundred and forty day-old Ross 308 hybrid broiler chicks were randomly assigned into groups A, B, C and D of 60 chicks each and were raised in deep litter housing. Broiler starter (BS) and broiler finisher (BF) mash were formulated each with 5% MOL included as part of the feed ingredient for broilers in groups A and B while BS and BF for broilers in groups C and D were formulated without MOL. Broiler chickens in groups A, B and C were challenged at 35 days of age with 0.05 ml of a live vvIBDV, while those in group D served as control. Daily feed intake (DFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average body weight gain (ABWG) was used to assess the growth performance. At 42 and 49 days of age, significant difference was observed in the feed intake of broilers in groups A, B and C when compared with group D (p = 0.0001). At 49 days of age, broilers in group A and D significantly (p = 0.0001) added more weight than those in groups B and C respectively. Broilers in group B had a significantly (p = 0.0006) lower FCR than those in group A, C and D at 28, 35 and 42 days of age. Despite the challenge with vvIBDV, MOL inclusion in the diet of broiler chickens resulted in reduced DFI, good FCR, increased ABWG and final body weight and carcass weight.

Abstract  Moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam) is one of the potential local feed ingredients of broiler rations due to its nutrient contents such as carbohydrate (57,01%), crude protein (30,30%), crude fat (2,74%) as well as a source of vitamin C, carotenoids and flavonoids. This study aimed to determine the effect of using different levels of Moringa oleifera Lam leaf meal (MOLM) in basal ration on plasma metabolites, including total cholesterol (TCHO), triglycerides (TG), glucose (GLU), and total protein (TP). The research design of this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. The treatments were 4 levels of MOLM (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%), in basal ration. The parameters measured were TCHO, TG, Glu, and TP of in blood plasma. The results showed that inclusion of MOLM up to 15% of in basal ration very significantly (P<0.01) lowering levels TG and decreasing Glu. However, the inclusion of MOLM had no effect (P>0.05) on TCHO and TP. It is concluded that moringa leaf flour addition to the basal ration up to 15% could be used to decrease plasma metabolites especially TG and GLU in broiler chickens.  Key words:Broilers; Moringa oleifera meal; total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose  and total protein   Abstrak  Daun kelor (Moringa oleifera Lam) merupakan salah satu bahan pakan lokal yang berpotensi dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan penyusun ransum ayam ras pedaging karena mengandung nutrisi yang tinggi diantaranya karbohidrat (57,01%), protein kasar (30,30%), lemak kasar (2,74%) dan sebagai sumber vitamin C, karotenoid serta flavonoid. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan beberapa level tepung daun kelor  dalam ransum basal terhadap plasma metabolit ayam ras pedaging yang meliputi total kolesterol (TCHO), trigliserida (TG), glukosa (Glu) dan total protein (TP). Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan dan lima ulangan. Perlakuan yang diberikan terdiri dari 4 level tepung daun kelor di dalam ransum basal yakni 0%, 5%, 10% dan 15%. Parameter yang diukur meliputi TCHO, TG, Glu dan TP pada plasma darah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan tepung daun kelor hingga 15% dalam ransum berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) menurunkan kadar TG dan berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) menurunkan Glu. Akan tetapi, pemanfaatan tepung daun kelor hingga 15% tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap TCHO dan TP. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah penggunaan tepung daun kelor dalam ransum basal hingga 15% dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menurunkan plasma metabolit khususnya TG dan Glu pada  plasma darah ayam broiler.   Kata kunci : Ayam ras pedaging; tepung daun kelor; plasma metabolit
