Current Status and Potential of Moringa oleifera Leaf as an Alternative Protein Source for Animal Feeds
The increased consumption of livestock, poultry, and fish products in people's diet threatens to drive production toward the use of more and more conventional crops in animal feeds. In this context, alleviating the tightening grain crop supply and ensuring the healthy development of animal husb...
