Fermentation preserves and enhances food properties, but consuming locally fermented foods can cause health issues like flatulence, gastrointestinal disorders, kidney stones, sometimes death. This study evaluated the biochemical, haematological, histological effects of supplementing diets with Moringa oleifera seed (FMS) nonfermented (NFMS) in healthy albino rats. Male rats were fed containing 10%, 20%, 30% FMS NFMS for 14 days. No significant changes observed body weight or organ/body ratios. However, platelet count increased significantly (p < 0.05) at higher supplementation levels, suggesting enhanced haemostatic activity. While haematological parameters remained stable, 20% urea creatinine indicating potential renal stress. Histological analysis showed mild alterations more pronounced NFMS-fed mitigated antinutrient effects, enhancing safety. are safe up to inclusion, applications human nutrition functional development.
