Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of high-dose (10.00 g/kg) Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant function, haematological indices, organ indices, histopathology of various organs of the digestive and immune system, and to evaluate the tolerance of Arbor Acres (AA) broilers to Moringa oleifera Lam. extract. A total of 288 one-day-old healthy AA broilers were selected with an average body weight of (45±2) g and randomly divided into three groups with six replicates each and sixteen broilers per replicate. Broilers in the control group were fed a corn-soybean-hybrid-based basal diet, and those in the experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 0.75 and 10.00 g/kg Moringa oleifera Lam. extract for 42 days, respectively. The results showed as follows:1) Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation at 0.75 and 10.00 g/kg significantly increased the average daily gain (P<0.05), but had no significantly different effects on the average daily feed intake and feed to gain ratio (P>0.05) of broilers. 2) Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation at 0.75 and 10.00 g/kg significantly increased serum total antioxidant capacity (P<0.05), and significantly decreased serum malondialdehyde content (P<0.05) of 42-day-old broilers. 3) Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation at 0.75 g/kg significantly increased the mean platelet volume of 21-day-old broilers (P<0.05), and Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation at 0.75 and 10.00 g/kg significantly increased the platelet distribution width of 21-day-old broilers (P<0.05). 4) Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation at 0.75 and 10.00 g/kg significantly decreased the death and culling rate of broilers to 3.13% and 2.08%. 5) Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation at 10.00 g/kg had no adverse effects on the morphology of digestive and immune organs of broilers. In conclusion, Moringa oleifera Lam. extract supplementation can increase the weight gain, improve the antioxidant function and reduce the death and culling rate of broilers. There is also a trend of improvement between the two doses. Therefore, it is safe to add ≤ 10.00 g/kg Moringa oleifera Lam. extract to broiler feed.
