ABSTRACT

Nutritional supplements of Moringa oleifera to animals are considered one of the aids for improving health and production. M. oleifera leaves, seeds, and extracts are administered to animals for therapeutic and nutritional purposes. The effects of using M. oleifera and its extracts on animals’ production and health have shown beneficial effects in several studies. The roles of M. oleifera and its extracts on nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and enzyme activities, growth and reproductive performances, antioxidants, and milk production and composition have been well documented. M. oleifera contains valuable chemical constituents such as proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and beta-carotene. The M. oleifera composition varies depending on nutrient availability for production, species, and lifespan of trees. Extracts of leaves and seeds were used for the production of invaluable compounds. Knowledge of M. oleifera impacts on productive, reproductive, and therapeutic performances is more fragmentary and the present review is compiled and discussed owing to the importance of M. oleifera and its purified compounds.
