The project -Operación Moringa- from the Star of David Church consist of:A. To make two events per month, to divulge the uses of moringa as food, to
distribute recipes, to teach the cultivation procedures of the tree, directed toleaders from Catholic and Protestant Churches, School Teachers and otherscommunity leaders from the entire country.
B. To make twelve programs for Tv stations 29 and cable 98, about the plant, usesand to invite the Tv audience to attend the events
C. In each event to give to each leader 200 seeds of moringa, and they will give intheir community 20 seeds to 10 family heads, for planting it in pots or the yard.their community 20 seeds to 10 family heads, for planting it in pots or the yard.Each leader will receive 1 pound of moringa powder for his personal use.
D. All this lessons, books and seeds are for free for each leader attending theevents.
E. Up to date there are 5,000 seeds distributed. With the project in 5 years in canbe more than 5,000,000 new trees planted in the country enough to feed2,000,000 people per year.
F. The Start of David Church is looking for a sponsor for a 10 years program with acost of $ 70k per year, this include de TV programs, the events with 14,400leaders trained per year and more than 50,000 seeds per year purchased anddistributed. Each tree planted will give a minimum of 50 seeds per year.

Effect of feeding different levels of foliagefoliage of Moringa oleiferato creole dairy cows on intake, digestibility,
milk production and composition
• An experiment was conducted in Nicaragua to determine the effect of feedingdifferent levels of foliage from Moringa oleifera Lam to dairy cows on intake,digestibility, milk production and milk composition.
• The treatments were: Brachiaria brizantha hay ad libitum, either unsupplemented orsupplemented with 2 kg or 3 kg of Moringa on a dry matter (DM) basis.
• Six Bos indicus cows of the Creole Reyna breed, with a mean body weight of 394F24kg were used in a replicated 33 Latin square design.
• Supplementation with Moringa increased ( P b0.05) DM intake from 8.5 to 10.2 and11.0 kg DM day1 and milk production from 3.1 to 4.9 and 5.1 kg day1 for B. brizantha11.0 kg DM day1 and milk production from 3.1 to 4.9 and 5.1 kg day1 for B. brizanthahay only and supplementation with 2 kg and 3 kg DM of Moringa, respectively.
• Milk fat, total solids and crude protein and organoleptic characteristics, smell, tasteand colour, were not significantly different between the diets.
• Apparent digestibility coefficients of DM, OM, CP, NDF and ADF increased ( P b0.05)in the diets supplemented with Moringa compared with B. brizantha hay alone.
• The results showed that the inclusion of Moringa as a proteinsupplement to low quality diets improved DM intake and digestibilityof the diet and increased milk production but did not affect milkcomposition.
Experimental design and statistical analysis
• The treatments were: – 1. B. brizantha
hay+sugar cane molasses,
– 2. B. brizantha hay+2 kg DMMoringa+sugar cane molasses and
– 3. B. brizantha hay+3 kg DM Moringa+sugar cane molasses.
Milk production and composition
• Mean daily milk production was significantly (P b0.05) higher for cows offered Moringa supplement than for those offered B. brizantha hay only (Table 3).
• Increasing the amount of Moringa offered from 2 to 3 kg DM did not increase daily milk production but supplemented cows produced significantly more milk (1.80 and 1.97 kg, respectively) than cows offered B. brizantha hay alone.
Milk Production and Composition
Other Results
• The results obtained with Moringa supplementation are in agreement with Rocha and Mendieta (1998) and Foild et al. (1999), who reported that cows supplemented with Moringa had 13% and 30%, respectively, higher milk production than cows fed a basal diet of Hyparrenia ruffa grass or Sorghum vulgare straw.grass or Sorghum vulgare straw.
• The findings in the Cratylia supplementation study are in accordance with a number of earlier studies where cows supplemented with Cratylia forage (0.5% of BW or 1.5 kg DM/100 kg LW0.75) had between 14% and 25% higher milk production than cows fed only sugar cane forage or grass, respectively (Lascano, 1996; Avila and Lascano, 1997)
