Haematological Studies of Broilers (1-28 Days) Fed with Diet Containing Varying Proportions of Tithonia Diversifolia Leaf Protein Concentrate

A feeding trial lasting for 28 days was conducted, involving 150 days old chicks which were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment with 3 replicate, of ten birds per replicate. The experimental diets consisted of 0%, 5%, 10%,15% and 20% inclusion level of Tithonia Diversifolia (wild sunflower) leaf protein concentrate to determine the effect of different level of Tithonia Diversifolia leaf protein concentrate on Haematological parameters of the birds. Haematological studies carried out were packed cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin concentration (Hb), Red blood cell (RBC), white blood cells, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC),…
