Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of feeding dried powder of Moringa oleifera leaves as a supplemented food on total cholesterol level and antibody titer against parvo virus in dogs. Moringa oleifera leaves were collected from Fayoum Province of Egypt. A total 12 weaned (45 days) German shepherd dogs divided into 4 groups in each group 3 Animals: 1st as control, 2nd 200 mg/kg, 3rd 300 mg/kg and 4th 400mg/kg of Moringa oleifera leaves powder. The blood samples were collected from dogs before, half and after experiment (0, 15, 30 days) for analysis of total cholesterol and anti-body titer against parvo virus. The results revealed that: (1) There is a significant decrease (P<0.05) in cholesterol level than normal range (135-278mg/dL) indicated that Moringa oleifera leaves may have a promising effect for cholesterol-lowering (2) Administration of the Moringa oleifera leaves lead to increase (P <0.05) in antibody titer against parvo virus in all groups compared to control group. Moringa oleifera as an immune boosting agent.
