MOL was added to starter, grower and finisher diets at four levels (0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 5.0%). A total of 320 one\u2010day\u2010old mixed\u2010sex Cobb\u2010500 broiler chicks were divided equally into four treatment groups, with 5 replicates of 16 chicks each until 42\u00a0days of age. Compared to the control group, chicks fed 0.5% and 1% MOL exhibited a higher final body weight (FBW), greater weight gain (BWG), and better average daily gain (ADG). Feed intake (FI) gradually decreased as the inclusion rate of MOL in the broilers' diet increased to 5%. The best feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and performance index (PI) were observed in broilers that were fed the MOL diet. The percentage of abdominal fat in broilers decreased significantly in response to dietary supplementation with MOL. The haematological profile in the MOL group revealed a lower WBC count and lymphocyte percentage but higher heterophil and H\/L ratio without affecting haemoglobin and RBC count. The inclusion of MOL increased total serum protein, Ca and P levels but decreased glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, AST and ALT concentrations. Moreover, dietary MOL increased the activities of GSH, CAT and SOD, GPx and GST while decreasing the TBARS level. The pH value decreased in the ileum of broilers fed the 1% and 5% MOL diet compared to the other treatments. Decreased ileal counts of <jats:italic>E.\u00a0coli<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Salmonella<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus<\/jats:italic> spp. were observed whereas the total ileal <jats:italic>Lactobacillus<\/jats:italic> spp. count increased in broilers fed the MOL diet. In conclusion, the MOL supplement can enhance growth performance and antioxidant status, alter ileal microbiota and protect against enteropathogens with no deleterious effects on the broiler chickens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpn.13281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,24]],"date-time":"2019-12-24T04:49:25Z","timestamp":1577162965000},"page":"529-538","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Effect of dietary <i>Moringa oleifera<\/i> leaves on the performance, ileal microbiota and antioxidative status of broiler chickens"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5873-7986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salma H.","family":"Abu Hafsa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Livestock Research Arid Lands Cultivation Research Institute City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications New Borg El-Arab Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salam A.","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Food Microbiology and Biotechnology Laboratory North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University Greensboro NC USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8549-8164","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yahya Z.","family":"Eid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Agriculture Department of Poultry Production Kafrelsheikh University Kafr El\u2010Sheikh Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ayman A.","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agriculture Research Center Animal Production Research Institute Doki Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5923\/j.microbiology.20120202.01"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","first-page":"89","article-title":"Characterization of Egyptian Moringa peregrine seed oil and its bioactivities","volume":"2","author":"Abd El Baky H.
