An experiment was conducted the effects of drumstick leaf meal as a natural feed additive on serum lipid profile of broilers was investigated for a period of sixth weeks. Moringa oleifera leaf meal was substituted for standard broiler ration as a T1 (control), T2, T3 and T4 in the four different diets. Eighty, day-old broiler chicks (Vencob-430) are randomly divided into four equal groups containing 5 replicates of 20 chicks were offered a standard broiler diet (T1) and drumstick leaf meal addition in the diet of broilers @ 0.5% (T2), 1.0% (T3) and 1.5% (T4) on dry matter basis by partial of control diet for 42 days. Moringa olifera leaf meal at the 0.5% level significantly (P<0.05) improved the body weight, feed consumption, serum profile and economics of broilers production. There was significant (P<0.05) serum total glucose, triglyceride, albumin in MOLM supplemented birds. However, non-significant (P>0.05) variation was observed in cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol LDL/HDL ratio and total protein and globulin in diet. The results from the present study, it could be suggested that the use of drumstick leaf meal as a feed additive at the level of 0.5 per cent as it improved the significantly better serum lipid profile of broiler production.
