Blood profile and organ weights of broilers fed variously processed Mucuna seed meal were investigated.A total of 120 day old broiler chickens were used. There were 4 treatments each replicated into 3 with 10 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design(CRD). Four treatment diets were formulated.Diet1served as control containing raw Mucuna, whilediets 2, 3, and 4 had boiled Mucuna, Mucuna boiled with ankanwu and boiled Mucuna mix with enzyme, respectively added to them. The birds were allowed 7 days to get stabilized before being randomly assigned to the experimental diets that lasted for 49 days. There were no significant (P>0.05) differences in the organ weights except for intestine, spleen and lungs. The value of the intestine ranged from 4.30% (D4) to 5.20% (D2). D4 was significantly ((P<0.05) lower than D2 butcompared favourably with D1 (4.51)and D3 (4.62). Significant ((P<0.05) differences existed only in haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The MCHC values ranged from 30.67 in D4 to 34.69% in D2. The value for D4 was significantly (P<0.05) lower than those of D1, D2, and D3 which was not significantly (P>0.05) different. The Hb and MCHC were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the processing of MSS. Total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, globulin and alkaline phosphatase were significantly (P<0.05) affected by the processing method employed in conclusion it is observed that 5% inclusion of Mucuna either raw or processed to broiler chicken diets does, does not have any deleterious effect on them health wise since blood and organs characteristics are used to measure the health status of animal.

A feeding trial was conducted with a total of 30 pigs to evaluate the potential of fresh Pannicum maximum forage on pigs. The trial lasted for 63 days. Five diets were formulated which contained 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% levels of the fresh grass forage. Each diet formed a treatment which was offered to the pigs. Each treatment was replicate, arranged in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The pigs were feed 4% of their body weight and water was offered ad-libitum. The blood composition of pig in terms of packed cell volume, haemoglobin, white blood cell, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration significantly (P<0.05) improved even with the inclusion of fresh grass forage of 20%, while mean corpuscular volume did not significantly (P>0.05) differ from the control which contained 0% forage. It is therefore concluded that fresh Pannicum maximum forage could be used in pig ration at 25% inclusion level without any effect on the animal.

The effect of graded levels of toasted Adenanthera pavonina seed meal (TAPSM) on haematological and biochemical indices of finisher broiler chickens was investigated in a five-week feeding trial with 84 (5-week old) broilers divided into four groups of 21 birds per group. Each group had three replicates of 7 birds. Four experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20 and 30% TAPSM, represented as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Birds were allocated to the four diets in a completely randomized design and housed in a deep litter pen. Feed and water were offered to birds ad libitum. Haematological parameters showed a significant (P<0.05) decreasing trend in haemoglobin (10.20, 9.03, 8.60 and 7.63 g/dl), packed cell volume (28.33, 26.10, 25.60 and 25.20%), total red blood cell (4.23, 4.00, 3.99 and 3.99 ?106/?l), mean corpuscular volume (66.97, 65.25, 64.16 and 63.15 fl), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (24.11, 22.57, 21.55 and 19.12pg) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (35.66, 34.59, 33.59 and 30.27%) with an increase in the level of TAPSM in the diets. Total white blood cells (71.76, 73.40, 75.07 and 76.17 ?103/?l) increased significantly (P<0.05) as the TAPSM level increased. The other values were as follows: urea (4.00, 5.00, 6.67 and 10.00mg/dl), creatinine (0.33, 0.25, 0.43 and 0.46mg/dl), cholesterol (149.67, 135.67, 113.67 and 102.67 mg/dl), total protein (3.33, 3.43, 2.97 and 2.50mg/dl), glucose (146.14, 208.49, 179.66 and 135.33 mg/dl), alkaline phosphatase (105.65, 111.2, 132.67 and 145.00 iu/l) and aspartate transaminase (68.68, 70.00, 78.00 and 85.67 iu/l). In conclusion, 10% TAPSM in broiler diets most favourably influenced haematological and biochemical parameters.

This study aims to examine the effect of Moringa leaf meal on broiler chicken ration to the weight of internal organs, triglyceride levels and HDL. The material used in the study was 60 broiler chicken age 2 weeks strain CP707. The design used Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with five treatments and four replications in each treatment. The five treatments are 100% commercial rations without moringa leaf meal as control and 100% commercial rations with 3%, 6%, 9% and 12% moringa leaf meal. Parameters observed included, liver weight, gizzard weight, meat triglyceride levels, and HDL levels of meat. The data obtained were analyzed by completely randomized design. If among the treatments showed significant differences, then the study will be continued by Duncan's multiple-range test. From the results of this study it can be concluded that the addition of moringa leaf meal at level 10% in the ration is the optimal level to decrease the triglyceride of meat without disturbing the HDL content in the meat and the addition of moringa leaf meal up to 12% in the ration does not give a negative effect on the weight of internal organs. Keywords: Broiler Chickens, HDL, Internal Organ, Triglycerides

One of the efforts to fulfill the community's nutritional resources derived from animal protein is by broiler farming business. In order for broiler chickens to achieve optimal productivity then the provision of proper rations in both quality and quantity must be met, but the obstacle in improving the quality of the ration is the cost of ration is large enough. It is necessary to research the feed material that is able to meet the needs of broiler chicken one of them is the leaves kelor. This research used broiler strain CP-707 as much as 60 tail. The method used is CRD (Completely Randomized Design) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were rations with no addition of moringa flour (PO), ration with addition of 3% maize flour (P1), ration with addition of 6% maize flour (P2), ration with addition of maize flour 9% (P3), ration with the addition of 12% maize flour (P4). The variables observed in this study were carcass weight, carcass percentage and non carcass percentage. From the results of this study it can be concluded that the addition of moringa flour on ration to 12% level on carcass weight, carcass percentage and non carcass percentage statistically show different not significant.

The effect of phytobiotics inclusion on haematological and serum indices of broiler chickens was investigated using 180 one day-old Arbor-acre broiler chicks in an eight weeks feeding trial. Six experimental diets were formulated to include the control diets (Og/kg), Ginger (5g/kg), Pawpaw leaf (5g/kg), Moringa (5g/kg), Turmeric(1g/kg) and Oxytetracycline (0.5g/kg) diet. These diets were assigned to six groups of 30 chicks replicated 3 times with 10 birds per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). Feed and water were given ad libitum. At the end of eight weeks, blood samples were collected from jugular vein of the birds and were analyzed for haematological and serum biochemical indices. The result of the analysis showed that dietary treatments significantly (p<0.05) influenced all haematological parameters studied. Ginger had the highest value of packed cell volume (45%), haemoglobin (15.05 g/dl) and red blood cell count (3.39x1012L-1) at the finisher phase. Total protein, uric acid, glucose were significant (p<0.05). Serum cholesterol value was significantly (p<0.05) lower in birds supplemented with ginger compared to other groups. It can be concluded that ginger at 5g/kg improved PCV, Hb and reduction of cholesterol concentration in broiler chicken.

The study aimed to examine the effect of using pollard in rations on the growth of proventricular, ventricular, duodenal, jejunal and ileal organs in 7-week-old broiler chickens. The research material used 200 broiler chickens aged 7 weeks with an average weight of 859 ± 59 g with each experimental unit consisting of 8 - 9 tails. The design used was a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Treatment is given (T0 = Comersial feeds, T1 = Feed with pollard without processing, T2 = Feed with pollard treated physically, T3 = Feed with pollard treated physically and biologically, and T4 = Feed with pollard treated physically and biology 60%) and 3 replications. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the administration of pollard treated physically and biologically has not been able to increase all the relative weights of the digestive organs of broiler chickens aged 7 weeks. In the proventriculus organ, the treatment can increase the relative weight of broiler digestive organs, but the relative weight of the proventriculus produced is still relatively normal. Measurement of broiler chicken organ weight needs to be done per week to determine the rate of increase in the relative weight of the optimal digestive organs, so that the maximum data on the growth of broiler organs are obtained optimally
