The use of alternative foods with good nutritional quality, wide regional availability and low economic value that can partially or totally replace conventional, high-cost foods such as corn and soy, traditionally used in the poultry sector, is driving research to demonstrate the nutritional and economic viability of these foods for poultry in various production systems. Due to the great potential of Moringa oleifera and the scarcity of literature on its nutritional value, in this book the author provides relevant information on the chemical composition, bioactive compounds and digestibility of moringa leaves for poultry.
