Abstract

Moringa oleifera is an important tropical or sub-tropical plant which could be used in animal feed for its great nutritional values. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary Moringa Oleifera fruit powder (MOP) on growth performance, antioxidant ability and hepatic mRNA expression in lion head geese from 1 to 21 day of age. A total of 900 1-day-old lion head geese were randomly divided into 6 treatments with 6 replicates 25 per each. The control group fed basic diet without MOP, and the treatment groups fed with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% MOP, respectively. The experiment lasted for 21 days. Our results showed that there were no significant differences of final body weight, ADFI and F/G among all groups. The ADG in 4% group was extremely higher than those of 2%, 8% and 10% groups (P
