Background and Objective: Due to undesirable consequences of synthetic antibiotics in animal farming and ban on their use, it is imperative to find readily available alternatives that are accessible and non-harmful to the environment. This study aimed to evaluate growth performance, biomarkers of oxidative stress and toxicity in Brahma hens fed Mangifera indica (mango) leaf powder. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 Brahma hens, (45 days old), with an average weight of 400 g were divided into 4 groups of 12, according to their body weights. Hens in group 1 (control) were fed a diet without mango leaves powder ad libitum throughout the experiment, while hens in groups 1, 2 and 3 received a control diet supplemented with 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75% M. indica leaves powder, respectively. Results: The addition of M. indica leaves powder to diet did not significantly increase (p>0.05) feed intake, weight gain and mean daily gain compared to control birds. Meanwhile, hens fed the diet containing mango leaf powder had significantly (p<0.05) higher live body weight compared to the control group. Relative liver weight and abdominal fat weights were significantly (p<0.05) lower in mango leaf powder-fed birds compared to controls while the liver size difference was not significant. Only superoxide dismutase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were decreased significantly (p<0.05) compared to control. Conclusion: Mangifera indica leaf powder can be used to improve the growth of Brahma hens, especially the diet supplemented with 0.5% showed the best growth rate.
