Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and if there were significant differences, further test was conducted using the Tukey test.

This study concluded that by adding Lemuru fish oil and Moringa leaf flour in broiler feed does not have negative effect internal organs and was beneficial for the digestive organs of broiler chickens
