Abstract

There are different studies aimed at the use of moringa, Moringa oleifera Lam., for animal feed. The foliage and seeds are appetizing and have a pleasant flavor, being avidly consumed by a large number of animals: ruminants, monogastrics, camels, even fish such as carps, Cyprinus carpio and tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, proving that it is valuable not only for cattle. , but also for birds and pigs
