Effect of in ovo inoculation of Moringa oleifera leaves extract on hatchability and chicken growth performance
Egg and poultry meat account for 35.56% of human animal protein requirements in the world (NYS et al., 2011). Considering the progress of animal product consumption in developing countries, a 3.9% increase in poultry product consumption is projected, while cattle and pigs will contribute respectively for 2.9% and 2.4% up to 2020 (DELGADO et al., 2003). The supply of this demand requires a substantial production of day-old chickens.
