Abstract

The effects of Cassia tora leaf meal on the hematological indices of Clarias gariepinus was investigated for a period of 63 days. C. tora leaf meal was incorporated in the diet at 0 (control), 3, 6, 8 and 10% in five different diets. C. gariepinus (mean weight 2.17±0.01g) were randomly distributed in to concrete tanks at 20 fish/tank in triplicate treatments. The results of the hematological parameters obtained, revealed significantly low values of white blood cell (WBC), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), Mean platelet (MPV) and platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR) in fish fed diet containing inclusion levels of the Casia tora leaf meal than the control diet. Fish fed diet containing 3% Casia tora leaf meal diet recorded the highest pack cell volume (PCV) and hemoglobin (Hb) and were significantly (P
