COMBINED EFFECT OF MORINGA OLEIFERA LEAF MEAL AND GREEN TEA SUPPLEMENTATION ON GROWTH PERFORMANCES, CARCASS YIELD, FECAL BACTERIAL LOAD AND LIPID PROFILE OF BROILER

Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of dietary Moringa oleifera leaf meal and Green tea supplementation on growth performances, feed intake, feed efficiency, fecal bacterial load, carcass yield and lipid profile of broiler. This experiment was conducted at Abdullah Poultry Farm, Rajbari, Dinajpur, Bangladesh. 120 day old broiler were randomly assigned into three dietary treatment groups (T0, T1, and T2) that were supplemented with basal diet, Moringa oleifera 3% + GTP 0.5%, Moringa oleifera 2% + GTP 1% feed, to investigate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal and Green tea supplementation. The results revealed that the dietary supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal and Green tea significantly increased (P<0.05) live weight, weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, fecal bacterial load and carcass yield. On the other hand, dietary supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal and Green tea reduced (P<0.05) the cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL and LDL level. In conclusion supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal and Green tea to the diets of broiler acts as an alternative tool of growth and productive performance of broiler.
