Abstract

A 56-days feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary inclusion of Ocimiumm gratissimmum
leaf meal on the haematological indices of broilers. The Ocimum gratissimmum leaves uses in the experiment
were manually harvested, air-dried and milled to become Ocimum gratissimmum leaf meal. The Ocimum
gratissimmum leaf meal was included in broiler starter to finisher diets at 0.50,100, and 150g levels respectively.
One hundred and twenty unsexed day old broilers chicks Arbor acre broiler chicks were raised on selfcompounded mash for eight were used. They were divided into 4 groups of 30 birds each and randomly assigned
to the 4 experimental diets in a completely randomized design (CRD). Each group was sub-divided into 3
replicates of 10 birds each and each replicate housed in a cage fitted with necessary brooding facilities. Feed and
water were given to them ad libitum for 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, blood was collected from the
birds, 3 per treatment and analyzed for haematological incides. Haemoglobin (Hb) and packed cell volume
(PVC) of birds were not significantly reduced (P<0>
