Abstract

An experiment was conducted in teaching and research farm Binyaminu Usman Polytechnic, Hadejia. To determine the effect of groundnut haulms supplementation in the diet of mongrel rabbit twelve Weaned Mongrel Rabbit was purchased from Hadejia market (14 weeks average). The experimental animal were allotted in to 4 deity treatment (supplemented with groundnut haulms) which are T1, T2, T3 and T4 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% respectably. Twelve rabbit was use with three rabbit per treatment. The experiment lasted for 6 weeks water and feed was provided ad libitum. Antibiotic and multivitamin was provided to experimental rabbit to tracts mange and other infectious disease. Blood sample was collected after slaughter in using EDTA and Non EDTA bottle and transported to the laboratory for blood metabolite analysis Results of haematological parameters showed there were significant (P<0.05) differences in packed cell volume (PCV%), haemoglobin (hbmg/dl), red blood cells (RBCx1012/L), white blood cells (WBCx109/L), neutrophils (%), while lymphocytes(%), eosinophil(%), monocyte(%), basophils(%) and mean corpuscular volume(MCH fl) were not different
(P>0.05) across the treatments. All data generated was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) were there were significance (P>0.05) differences means was separated by using Duncan multiples range using SAS. It is concluded that; groundnut haulms is safe and can be supplemented partially or fully as protein sources and use as a supplementation in the diets of weaned rabbits without no adverse effects on the heamatological and biochemical indices of growing rabbit.
