The present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of Moringa oleifera leaf powder on carcass traits and oxidative stress of broiler chickens.A total of 250-day-old broiler chicks (Vencobb-430) were randomly distributed into five groups with 5 replicates of 10 birds in each.Different dietary treatments were; basal diet with no supplement (NCnegative control) and basal diet supplemented with antibiotics (PC-positive control), 1.0% Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP1), 1.5% Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP1.5)and 2.0% Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP2).Per cent weight of various cut parts, eviscerated weight, drawn yield and non-edible components were evaluated after 35 days of the experiment.The results showed significantly higher eviscerated weight and drawn yield percentage in MOLP1 and MOLP2 groups compared to NC group.No significant difference in head, blood, feather and shank percentage were observed among the different groups under study.The result revealed significant (P<0.05)reduction in oxidative stress level in Moringa supplemented groups as compared to control group birds.From the above experiment, it was concluded that supplementation of 1.0% Moringa oleifera leaf powder significantly increases the eviscerated weight and drawn yield and reduced the oxidative stress of birds.
