Effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal supplementation in Broiler chicken on serum and muscle lipid profile

Abstract

The present study was conducted at the research form of STRU, MPKV, Rahuri. An evaluation trial comprising of eight parents, fifty-six F1s (including direct and reciprocal crosses) and two standard checks were conducted during Rabi 2018 with three replications in randomized block design. The observation was recorded on three phenological, eleven morphological and four qualitative characters. The estimates of components of SCA variance were higher than the components of GCA variance which indicated preponderance of non-additive gene action for 50 percent Tasseling, days to 50 percent silking, days to maturity, plant height (cm), earhead height (cm), number of nodes per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of ear per plant, number of ear per plot, ear length (cm), ear girth (cm), number of kernel row per ear, number of kernel per ear, 100 kernel weight (g), kernel weight per ear (g), kernel yield per plant (g), kernel yield per plot (kg), kernel yield per hectare (q), protein content (%), starch content (%), tryptophan content (%) and lysine content (%) under present investigation.
