A review of the chemical composition of the Moringa oleifera forage meal (leaves plus stems) and the possibilities of safe use in the feeding of non-ruminant animals was made. The forage meal obtained from Moringa oleifera at 35 to 60 days from regrowth and cut at 5 to 40 cm height from the soil has good protein concentration, and its amino acid content is similar to the alfalfa forage meal. In addition, the moringa forage meal has a high content of crude fiber (CF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and acid detergent lignin (ADL), which must cause a low content of metabolizable energy (ME) for poultry and pigs. Apparently, the contribution of secondary metabolites and bioactive substances at low concentrations does not harm the growth performance and quality of the final product. Moreover, we recommend favorable levels of inclusion in the diets of poultry, pigs and rabbits.
