| Abstract: | The study was conducted to determine the effect of ethanolic extract of tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) on reproductive traits of Red Sokotodoes. The does were divided into four treatment groups of three replicates with two animals per replicates. The goats were treated with ethanolic extract (ET) of Tiger nut at 0ml (T1), 5ml (T2), 10ml (T3) and 15ml (T4) for twenty (20) weeks. After which the goats were examined for the reproductive traits.The results reveals a significant difference (p<0.05) in gestation length, weight at birth, pre- partum weight, post- partum weight, weaning weight and no significance different in the weight of placenta. Does in T2 and T3has the highest Haemoglobin and PCV values, this was followed by Does in T4 and T1 Respectively. In conclusion ethanolic extract has the capability of influencing reproductive traits. |
