THE EFFECT OF MORINGA OLEIFERA LEAF POWDER ON THE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF BROILERS IN THE SUMMER

Abstract

The experiment was carried out in the barn of the Animal Production Department, Nasser College of Agricultural Sciences, University of Aden. The study aimed to determine the effect of Moringa leaf powder on some characteristics of the productivity of broilers in the summer. The experiment was conducted on 120 broilers of the unsexed (Ross) breed, one day old, distributed.  Randomly into four at levels (0, 3, 6 and 10 g/kg) represented by treatments T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively, with three replicates for each treatment, with ten chickens in each replicate. The experiment continued for 35 days.  The results showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the Moringa treatments T2, T3, and T4, where an increase in body weight and the amount of feed consumed was observed, and the feed conversion factor decreased significantly compared to the T1 treatment, while the difference was not significant in the mortality rate and productivity per square meter.
