Popis: The present research was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing canola meal with Moringa oleifera leaf meal on hemato-chemical properties in broilers. For this purpose, one hundred fifty, chicks were randomly distributed into five equal groups of 30 chicks each. These chicks were further sub-divided into three replicates in such a way that each replicate contained ten chicks. These chicks were randomly allotted to five treatment rations. Five isoproteinious (CP 21%) and isocaloric (2900 Kcal/Kg) rations (A, B, C, D, and E) were formulated. Ration A contained 8% canola meal but without Moringa oleifera leaf meal and served as a control, whereas in rations B, C, D and E the canola meal was replaced by Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) @ 25, 50, 75 and 100% (w/w) of its total concentration (8%). These rations were fed ad libitum from 8 to 42 days of age. At the end of trial, blood samples (5ml each) from 3 birds/replicate were collected in sterilized disposable syringes. The serum was analyzed for the determination of blood glucose, cholesterol and liver function tests i.e. AST, ALT and ALP. The data collected were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique under Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results revealed that the values of blood glucose, total cholesterol, ALT, AST and ALP were lowest in group E while these values were the highest in control group A. However, all these values were found within the normal range. It was concluded that replacement of canola meal with MOLM in broiler ration exhibited a significant (P
