Abstract
The study was to investigate the influence of graded levels of Cyathula prostrata (pasture weed) on hematological parameters of adult buck rabbits. Sixteen (16) adult New Zealand white buck rabbits were randomly allocated into four dietary experimental groups of A (control- free of the additive plant), B, C and D in a Completely Randomized Experimental Design (CRD) and fed graded levels of Cyathula prostrata as follows A (0g/kg), B(10g/kg), C(20g/kg) and D (30g/kg) incorporated into proprieted concentrate rabbit growers feed respectively. The study lasted for eight (8) weeks, after which, blood samples were collected from the bucks, and analyzed for hematological parameters. From the results, the effects on the hematological parameters revealed significant difference (P 0.05). It was therefore concluded that Cyathula prostrata is safe for use as feed additive and holds promise of enhancing production in commercial rabbit production.
