Keywords:

Abstract
Blood parameters constitute important panels in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of livestock diseases. This study is aimed at assessing the hematological and serum biochemical profile of Red Sokoto bucks fed processed hyacinth bean seed meal diets. A total of 24 apparently healthy Red Sokoto bucks were apportioned to four (4) dietary treatments in a completely randomized designed. Treatment one (T1) served as control group with 0% hyacinth bean seed meal inclusion, T2 (5% inclusion), T3 (10% inclusion) and T4 (15% inclusion). The blood samples of the animals were aseptically collected from the jugular vein at the beginning of the experiment and subsequently fortnightly for the period of 90 days. The results showed that, there were significant (P<0.05) differences in the Monocyte, Lymphocyte, Eosinophil, AST, ALT, ALP, Total protein, Albumin, Urea, Createnine, Sodium, Potassium and Bicarbonate levels between the control and treatment groups. However, no significant differences (P˃0.05) were recorded in the packed cell volume (PCV), Hemoglobin (Hb), Red blood cells (RBC), Bilirubin and Chloride levels in all the treatment groups, though all the values obtained fell within the normal range for clinically healthy goats. In conclusion, the utilization of processed hyacinth bean seed meal diets at different graded level (5%, 10% and 15%) had no deleterious effects on hematological and serum biochemical indices of the Red Sokoto bucks.
