COMBINE AND SINGLE EFFECTS OF MORINGA (MORINGA OLEIFERA) AND PAW-PAW(CARICA PAPAYA) LEAF MEALS ON CARCASS TRAITS OF BROILER CHICKEN
Abstract
Moringa is used for red blood [anemia]; arthritis and other joint pain, asthma, cancer, constipation, diabetes, diarrhea, epilepsy, stomach pain, stomach and intestinal ulcer, heart problem, high blood pressure, kidney stones, fluid retention, thyroid disorder, and bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infection North, (1972).
Phytogenic feed additives are gradually gaining prominence in animal feeding to improve their performance and boost their immune response (Oloruntola ., 2016b). These products include pawpaw whose leaf has been previously identified by Oloruntola et al. (2018) as a natural source of papain, chymopapain A and B, and papaya peptidase A. Papain is proteolytic and thus capable of enhancing protein digestion (Oloruntola et al., 2018). In addition, the papaya leaf contains broad-spectrum phytochemicals including alkaloids and phenols. Phenolic compounds have high antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging capacity, with the mechanism of inhibiting enzymes responsible for reactive oxygen species production (Kahkonen , 2001).
