Abstract

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the organ weights, biochemical and haematological changes of broiler finisher birds fed raw and processed Mucuna sloanei meals. 150 Anak broiler finisher birds fed raw and processed Mucuna sloanei at 10% inclusion levels were used in a completely randomized design (CRD) experiment. The birds were fed ad-libitum throughout the experimental period. SBMS encouraged a reduction in organ weight. The Hb, PCV, RBC, MCH, MCHC and MCV were within the normal range for all the test diets with the exception of RMS diet, which went out of range for Hb, PCV, RBC and MCH.
