083 Egg production and quality from laying quails fed three levels of moringa meal

Abstract

An abstract of a study by Degollado Aguayo et al evaluating the effect of adding 0 (T0), 5 (T5), and 10% (T10) moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera) meal to a soybean meal-sorghum-based diet on egg production and quality from laying quails (Coturnix japonica) is presented. In conclusion, including moringa leaf meal up to 10% in quail diets at the beginning of the laying cycle had positive effects on the pigmentation of quail egg yolk, without affecting efficiency of egg protein and energy deposition and without reducing egg production parameters.
