Addition of Moringa Leaf Flour (Moringa oleifera L) in Rations on the Quality of Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Eggs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the use of moringa leaf flour (Moringa oleifera L) in rations on the quality of quail eggs. The researchers designed four treatments and five replications: P0, a ration without the use of Moringa leaf flour (control); P1, a ration containing 5% Moringa leaf flour; P2, a ration containing 10% Moringa leaf flour; and P3, a diet containing 15% Moringa leaf meal. These were analysed using ANOVA. The results showed that the use of Moringa leaf flour up to 15% had a significant effect (P<0.05) on yolk color but had no significant impact (P>0.05) on egg weight, yolk index, albumen index, haugh unit, shell weight, and thick shell. Based on the research results, incorporating Moringa leaf flour into rations up to 15% can enhance yolk colour without reducing egg weight, yolk index, albumen index, Haugh units, shell weight, and shell thickness.
