Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 02
Abstract
This experiment was conducted in the poultry farm of the Department of Animal Production at the College of Agriculture / Al-Qasim Green University to evaluate the high nutritional effectiveness of the nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves added to drinking water on the productive characteristics of broiler chickens. 180 one-day-old Ross broiler chicks, unsexed, were used. They were randomly divided into four treatments, 45 birds for each treatment, and each treatment consisted of three replicates (15 birds for each replicate). The experimental treatments were as follows: the first treatment (control) without adding the nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves to the drinking water. The second treatment: adding the nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves at a dose of 10 ml/liter of drinking water at a concentration of 0.01%. The third treatment: adding the extract Nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves, at a dose of 10 ml/liter of drinking water, at a concentration of 0.02%. The fourth treatment: adding the nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves, at a dose of 10 ml/liter of drinking water, at a concentration of 0.03%. The experiment included studying the following characteristics: average live body weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion factor, Percentage of losses, production index, Villus length, crypts depth, and the ratio of villus length to crypts depth. The results indicated that adding the nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves led to a significant improvement in all the productive traits studied. It can be concluded from the current experiment that adding the nano-alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera leaves to drinking water can lead to improving the productive traits of broiler chickens.
