dc.description.abstractA study aimed at assessing the influence of wattle on haematology and serum biochemistry was carried out on eight Red Sokoto bucks in Niger State, Nigeria. The experiment lasted six months within which data was collected on haematology (Red blood cell, White blood cells, PCV, Neutrophils Lymphocytes. Haemoglobin, Mono, Eos, Baso, MCV, MCH and MCHC) and serum biochemistry (ALB, ALP, Na, Ca, Total protein, Urea, Creat, K, Trigy, Cl, Total bid, Conjbid, Phos, Choles, HDl, LDL, Glucose, SGOT and SGPT). Data obtained were subjected to statistical package (SAS, 2000). At the end, wattle had significant influence (p<0.05) the white blood cells neutrophils, lymphocytes and HDL. Bucks without wattle had higher white blood cells and lymphocytes than wattled bucks which might have resulted from an active viral infection stress or other abnormalities . Bucks with wattle had higher HDL, which lowers blood cholesterol level.
