The study was conducted at the poultry farm of the animal production Department - College of Agriculture - Al-Qasim Green University. This experiment was lasted for 42 days to study the effect of dosing different levels of moringa leaf powder on the reproductive hormones and weight gain of the broiler breeders. The moringa leaf powder was given to the roosters in the form of capsules at the rate of one capsule/day for each rooster. 12 broiler breeder roosters (Ross 308) aged 70 weeks were used in this trial, randomly divided in to 4 treatments with 3 replicates and one roster for each replicate. The first treatment was the control treatment (without additives), while in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4rth treatments 0.5, 1, and 1.5 gm of moringa leaf powder were used respectively. The results of this study showed a high significant superiority (P <0.01) in the hormonal characteristics; whereas, the fourth treatment had the best performance in the percentage of LH, FSH, testosterone, and live body weight among other treatments.
