Milk Yields in Dairy Cattle

M. oleifera fed at 2 kg or 3 kg DM day1 can significantly improve dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility and milk yields of dairy cattle fed a basal diet of B. brizantha hay in the dry tropics without affecting milk composition (fat, crude protein and total solids) or organoleptic characteristics of milk (smell, taste and colour), and has thus a great potential to contribute protein rich forage, particularly in dual purpose production systems during the dry season Refer

Moringa as Aquaculture Input

Abalone fed the M. oliefera-based diet showed significantly higher carcass protein (70% dry weight) and lipid (5%) than the other treatments. Moringa oliefera leaf meal and freshwater aquatic fern (A. pinnata) are promising alternative feed ingredients for practical diet for farmed abalone.
