Is Moringa good for chickens?

[Geoelil]

It has a lot of benefits for people, I have a nice tree, fast growing and hardy, in my yard -Central Florida- and I love it as part of my daily infusion mix -tea, chamomile, lemon balm, etc,- just wanted to know if someone has tried it before with chickens, in their water or as a treat. Thanks.

I also grow moringa, the nutritional value of this tree is incredible. Yes chickens can eat it for a treat. If you google moringa and chickens you will learn some interesting stuff.

Thanks Junochick, I gave them some and they went crazy, so we both ate Moringa leaves for an afternoon snack.

Basics of the testing is that they separated broilers into groups and fed the different groups varying levels of Moringa. At the end of the experiment, those receiving all their protein from Moringa grew slower and had lower finished weight versus those receiving all or most of their protein from Soy.
