Résumé

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding different inclusion levels of Piliostigma thonningii leaves on haematology of Kano Brown bucks. Sixteen (16) growing Kano Brown bucks weighing averagely 10 – 12 2kg were randomly allocated to four treatments in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four (4) replications per treatment. Four (4) diets containing P. thonningii leaves at 0, 15, 30 and 45% were fed at 3.5 kg/ body weight/day for a period of 84 days. The results of heamatological parameters showed no significant (P>0.05) differences in all parameters except for packed cell volume (PCV). It was concluded that inclusion level of P. thonningii leaves has no deleterious effects on haematology of Kano Brown bucks. It was therefore, recommended that, P. thonningii leaves could be included up to 45% level in the diet of Kano Brown bucks.
