The study examined the haematological parameters of broiler chicken fed graded
level of cassava peel meal blended with palm oil sludge. This experiment was
conducted at the Poultry Unit of Teaching and Research Farm Department of
Animal science, Faculty of Agriculture Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
University Igbariam Campus. One hundred and fifty broiler chickens were used
for the experiment. The birds were randomly assigned to five different dietary
treatments with fifty birds per treatment and ten birds per replicate. The
experiment lasted for 2 months (56) days. At the end of the experiment, the
blood was taken to a laboratory for haematology and lipid profile test. The
results obtained in haematology showed that inclusion of cassava peel meal
blended with palm oil sludge in broiler chicken diet does not have significant
effect (p>0.05) on the monocytes, PCV, RBC, TWBC while the lipid profile also
shows no significant effect (p>0.05) on Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL,
VLDL, LDL, Glucose. It can be concluded that up to 19% inclusion of cassava
peel meal blended with palm oil sludge (CPMPOS) as a replacement to maize in
broilers has no adverse effect on their health.
