چکیده
This study evaluated the effectiveness of dry Moringa oleifera leaf powder in the management of anaemia in adult albino rats. The proximate, mineral, vitamin and phytochemical composition of dry M. oleifera leaf powder were analysed. Twelve adult albino rats grouped into three were used. Cyclophosphamide was used to induce anaemia into them. The percentage proximate values were protein (26.28%), ash (7.69%), carbohydrate (49.35%), crude fibre (7.48%) and moisture (7.05%). The rats whose feed were supplemented with M. oleifera leaf powder showed superior attributes to the unsupplemented group. The study showed dry M. oleifera leaf powder is promising in the management of anaemia.
