Résumé

Moringaoleifera (Lamarck) seed is a potential novel feedstuff that can be incorporated into poultry nutrition in Nigeria. Moringa oleifera is a potential cheaper alternative than the current conventional feedstuff. However, the performance response may vary between different chicken genotypes.The objectives of this study is to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of Moringa oleifera Seed Meal (MOSM) on the correlation between body weight and
morphometric body parameters of local and exotic chickens. Four experimental diets containing 0, 5, 10 and 15 % MOSM were used. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Correlation model. The study showed that the association between morphometric parameters and body weights decreased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing levels of MOSM (r decreased from 0.72 to 0.52). This study concluded that 5% dietary inclusion of MOSM would improve growth performance in YENLC and Marshall broilers.
