The present study conducted to determine inclusion of drinking water supplementation with extract fermented Moringa oleifera by probiotics Saccharomyces spp (MLF) on egg production and cholesterol contents in egg of laying hens up to 70 weeks old. A total of 180 laying hens with homogenuous body weight were randomly allotted into three drinking water treatments. The dringking water treatments included: drinking without MLF extract (A); drinking water with 2% MLF extract (B); and drinking water with 2% MLF extract (C), respectively. Result showed that the MLF drinking water treatment had improved total weight eggs and egg production compared with control treatments (P<.05). The egg mass in MLF extract treatments B and C were greater than that in control treatment (P<.05). Moreover, MSF extract decreased significantly (P<.05) feed efficiencies of birds. In conclusion, fermented Moringa oleifera leaf by Saccharomyces spp extract supplementation improved egg productions and decreased cholesterol contents in eggs of laying hens.
