Effect of Feeding Lactating Ewes with Moringa oleifera Leaf Extract on Milk Yield Milk Composition and Preweaning Performance of Ewe/Lamb Pair

摘要

The use of plant extracts as supplemental additives in ruminant diets shows beneficial effects. This study evaluated the effects of different doses of leaf extract (MOE) on milk production and milk composition in ewes and on preweaning performance of their lambs. At different doses, MOE supplementation did not affect overall productive traits in ewes and lambs and did not have negative effects on milk production and milk quality.
