- Description: The objective of the study was to determine the effect of different fat levels and Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MLM) inclusion on sensory attributes (aroma, meat flavour, spicy flavour, texture, colour, and saltiness), lipid oxidation, proximate composition, and fatty acid (FA) profile of chicken droëwors. Firstly, sensory attributes of chicken droëwors with different levels of fat and that of Moringa oleifera leaf meal were determined. In the second experiment, the effect of different fat and MLM inclusion levels on lipid oxidation during drying and storage, proximate composition, and fatty acid profile were also determined. A forty randomly selected consumers of different gender and age were used as the sensory panel. 75 percent of lean chicken meat and 25 percent of chicken fat was used during droëwors preparation. Thereafter, 9 treatments of chicken droëwors were produced, with MLM included either at 0 percent, 0.25 percent, 0.5 percent, and fat included at 10 percent and 15 percent. For fatty acid profile, the total lipid from dry sausage of all treatments was quantitatively extracted using chloroform and methanol in a ratio of 2:1. Lipid oxidation was measured by analyzing thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) at intervals during drying (0, 0.25, 0.5, 72h) and after 7 days of storage under ambient conditions. The results showed that consumers like the chicken droëwors when 0.5 percent MLM added to the product. The inclusion of MLM in chicken droëwors had a positive effect on consumer sensory. The results of the study demonstrated that chicken droëwors contained a significantly higher percentage (P<0.05) of C18:1c9 (Oleic) (30.95 to 32.65 percent) acid than other fatty acids. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were all non-significant (P˃0.05) except for Docosahexanoic, which was observed to be significant (P˂ 0.05) in all treatments except T1. There was no significance (P> 0.05) in mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), except for Elaidic, vaccenic, linoleic, y-linoleic, erucic, and arachidonic. Lipid oxidation occurred more rapidly (P<0.05) when MLM was not added. During processing and storage, TBARS were higher (P< 0.05) in chicken droewors. TBARS during storage were lower (P>0.05) with MLM added. Results showed a significant difference (P<0.05) in proximate composition of chicken droëwors, containing on average 16.93±1.29 to 10.79± 1.83/ 100 g moisture, 45.80± 1.65 to 67.56± 2.33/ 100 g protein, 14.37± 2.15 to 26.13± 2.15/100 g ash. The current study resultsgave a summary of the composition of chicken droëwors and showed higher susceptibility to lipid oxidation in chicken droewors. Therefore, Moringa oleifera leaf powder showed antioxidant activity in chicken droëwors, reserved lipid oxidation in the product. In conclusion, MLM could be used as a functional antioxidant preservative in chicken droëwors. , Thesis (MSc) (Animal Science) -- University of Fort Hare, 2021

- Description: This study was designed was to determine the effects of additive supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal on growth performance, digestibility, digestive organ size, intestinal integrity, bone ash content and bone breaking strength, as well as meat yield and quality of broiler chickens. A total of 2400 day-old unsexed Cobb-500 broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 5 treatment groups: T1, positive control, 668 g/ton Salinomycin and 500 g/ton Albac; T2, T3 and T4 contained graded levels of MOLM at 1 percent, 3 percent and 5 percent of dry matter (DM) intake, respectively; and T5, a negative control (0 percent additives) in a complete randomized design experiment. Except for week one, FI and FCR was highest (P < 0.05) in T4 birds; while T1 birds had the highest FI in the period of 22 to 27d (P < 0.05). Throughout the production period, birds supplemented with MOLM had the highest BW (P < 0.05) than the birds fed the control diets. Feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) among treatments was highest (P < 0.05) in T4 birds during the period of 8 to 14 d; and was highest (P < 0.05) for T1 birds in the period of 22 to 27d. Protein efficiency ratio (PER) and energy utilization efficiency (EEU) ratios were statistically significant among treatments (P < 0.05). However, dietary treatments had no effect (P > 0.05) on the weights of the heart, liver, spleen, or the gizzard, although the bursa for T2 birds was the lightest (P < 0.05); while gizzard erosion score was highest in T2 birds. All of the nutrients measured, except for fat, had negative intercepts that were significantly different (P < 0.05) from zero, indicating the presence of endogenous fecal losses. Tibiae length (TL) was highest in T2. The dried defatted weight (DW) was heaviest (P < 0.05) for T3 (11.20 ± 0.347) and T5 (11.08 ± 0.328). A positive correlation (r = 0.667; P < 0.01) between TW and DW was observed. There were no dietary effects on bone breaking strength (BBS), but T1 tibiae had highest resistance to breaking force (T1 > T4 > T3 > T2 > T5). Calcium was highest (P < 0.05) in T1; and lowest inT2 and T5. Phosphorus levels were lowest (P < 0.05) in T1; and highest (P < 0.05) in T5 compared. The highest Ca: P ratio was obtained in T4 (P < 0.05); while the ash percent was highest (P < 0.05) in T1. Drip loss increased as L* values increased; and a negative correlation was observed between L* and pH. On D1, C18: 0 and C22 in T2, while C15:0 was highest in T4. On D1, C20:2, C20:3n6 and C22:6n3 were highest in T2 (P < 0.05); T4 had the highest C18:3n6 (P < 0.05), while C20:2 was highest in T5 (P < 0.05). The P/S ratio on D1 was highest in T4; while n-6/n-3 was highest in T1; and n-3 was highest in T3. On D8, the n-3 was highest in T1 (P < 0.05). Results of the current study show that supplementation of M. oleifera leaf at additive levels of up to 5 percent of the bird’s DMI does have the potential to influence the bird performance without any detrimental effects on nutrient utilization, bird health, bone strength and/or meat quality, which can be concluded that MOLM enhanced the bird’s genetic potential for optimal productivity.
