Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Moringa oleifera (moringa) as a feed supplement on the performance and health status of broiler chicken through a meta-analysis. The database was compiled from 35 studies comprising 191 experiments. The literatures from Scopus are screened by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, and the data were analyzed using OpenMEE software. Feed containing moringa was the fixed effects and the different studies as random effects. The results showed that dietary moringa supplementation increased weight gain (p < 0.05), decreased feed intake (p < 0.05), and therefore decreased feed conversion ratio (FCR) of the broiler chicken. Blood lipid parameters were also affected by moringa supplementation. Feed containing moringa decreased cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL (p < 0.05), while HDL was higher in comparison to that of control (p < 0.05). It can be concluded from the meta-analysis that dietary moringa supplementation effectively improves performance and health status of broiler.
