Abstract | ||||
The current study was conducted to assess the consequences of Moringa oleifera leaves alcoholic extract (MOLE) based on growth performance and immunological response of broiler chicks. There was a total of a hundred and Eighty-one-day-old chicks were assigned at random into three dietary groups undergoing treatment with three replicates of 20 each bird. Control group was given drinking water without additives. The second and third groups were supplemented with MOLE at doses of 125 and 250 mg/L of water, respectively. Supplementation of broiler chicks with MOLE enhanced their growth performance represented by increasing final body weight, body weight gain, phagocytic activity and phagocytic index while significantly decreased feed intake and food conversion ratio. Moreover, it increased serum levels of insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), interferon-gamma (IF-γ) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG). This study indicated that Moringa oleifera extract in drinking water enhanced the growth performance and immunological response of broiler chicks through increasing protein expression of IGF-1, IF-γ. | ||||
