Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying levels of Cassia tora on the performance of rabbits. The animals were fed diets containing 0, 2.5,5 7.5 and 10% inclusion levels of C. tora in a completely randomized design replicated six times. Data were collected in ten consecutive weeks on feed intake and live weight gain. Blood sample evaluation was carried out at the end of the experiments. Results indicated a significant difference in hematological parameters (P<0.05), a significantly higher levels of platelets, Lymphocytes and MCHC was found for the animals fed diets containing higher levels of C. tora. It was concluded that up to 7.5% of C. tora could be incorporated in the diet of rabbits without any deleterious effect on the blood profile of rabbits.
