This is a systematic review that compared its effects on goats based on a predetermined PICO model (Population: goats in different physiological phases; Intervention: dietary M. oleifera in the forms of leaf meal, extract, or silage; Comparison: no interventions; Outcomes: growth performance, antioxidant status, reproduction, and milk yield and quality).MethodsThe PRISMA gu...
