Abstract

A model for predicting egg production in Isa-brown layers fed with a known quantity of Moringa oleifera leaf powder supplement at a given period was developed. The coefficient of the model indicated that whenever the percentage of Moringa oleifera inclusion was known and the week was specified, the number of eggs that was laid by the birds that predicted with a minimal error. The result of the indicated that Moringa oleifera inclusion and time (weeks) significantly (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05) predicted the number of eggs. The coefficient of determination value (R2) of 0.935 implied that 93.5% of the entire variation in the number of eggs was accounted for by the percentage of moringa inclusion and the weeks of feeding.
