Abstract

The effects of replacing soyabean meal with Moringa oleifera leaf meal on haematology and serum cholesterol concentration were examined using 200 started broiler chickens. Treatments were not significant on all haematological variables examined with the exception of Lymphocyte in which there was significant effect (P<0.05). Serum cholesterol concentration in the birds shows a decreasing concentration with increasing levels of MOLM in the diets. effects of treatment on cholesterol  concentration were statistically significant. It is recommended that the use of MOLM in the diets of broiler chicken to reduce its cholesterol content be advocated.
