The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on haematology and serum biochemical parameters of weaner rabbits. Twenty (20) weaned rabbits of mixed breeds, aged between 4- 5weeks with initial average live weight of 627.5g were randomly allocated into four (4) treatment groups with five (5) rabbits per treatment. Each rabbit served as replicate. The rabbits were fed diets containing 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% Moringa leaf meal in diets designated as T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively. The experimental diets and clean drinking water were supplied ad-libitum throughout the experimental periods of 8 weeks. The result of the experiment showed no significant (P>0.05) differences among the treatments for packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemolobin concentration (MCHC), white blood cell, lymphocyte, neutrophils, monocytes, basophils and eosinophils. Significant effect of diet was only observed on haemoglobin (Hb) concentration whose values were however within the normal range for healthy rabbits. No significant (P>0.05) influence of diet was observed on all the serum biochemical parameters studied. Therefore, it could be concluded that inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal in the diets of weaner rabbits up to 15% has no adverse effect on blood profile of rabbits.
