The present study was carried out to study the effect of dietary inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on blood and serum parameters of broilers. Day old broilers (n=180) were distributed randomly into six dietary groups each with five replicates of 6 birds. The dietary treatments include Moringa oleifera leaf meal at 0% (T1; negative control), T1 + Vit-E, Se, Vit-C (T2; positive control), 1.5% (T3), 3.0% (T4), 4.5% (T5) and 6.0% (T6) levels by marginal adjustment of other feed ingredients. PCV, Hb, RBC, WBC and H/L ratio were not inÀuenced by the level of MOLM in diet. Decreased (p<0.01) serum cholesterol and increased HI titers (p<0.05), serum protein (p<0.05), globulin (p<0.01) with increasing MOLM in diets. Results showed that MOLM can be included up to 6% without any deleterious effect on health status of the broilers and meat production with low cholesterol.
