A nutritional assessment of Moringa oleifera leaf meal for chickens commonly reared under extensive production systems : Effect on growth performance, serum biochemistry, and meat quality
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)
Poultry production in most rural parts of South Africa is characterized by small scavenging
operations. Indigenous chickens which are considered to be of low productivity due to poor
growth rate, few eggs produced, high ...
