This study evaluated the effect of Telfaria occidentalis diet on haematological indices in rats. 14 male
rats were used, they were divided into two groups; control and test. The control group was fed with normal rat
feds while the test group was fed with feeds containing 25% by weight of Telfaria occidentalis for 30 days. The
Packed Cell Volume (PCV) and total White Blood Cell count (WBC) were determined. The result shows a
significant increase in WBC. |
