“…Blood indices are useful in the estimation of toxic potential of a substance. Cyanide administration caused a decrease in mean corpuscular hemoglobin level (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin count (MCHC) which agrees with the report of Ologunagba and Azubuike, [25] and Jiwuba et al [26]. It has been reported that lysis of RBC and decrease in Haemoglobin level were responsible for the decrease in MCH, MCHC, MID, RDW [27].…”

Aim: To investigate the effect of Hexane extract of Chromolaena odorata (HECO) on cyanide induced hematotoxicity in male Albino Wistar rats. Methodology: Thirty-five (35) male albino rats weighing between 100g and 150g were distributed randomly into 7 groups of 5 rats each. Group 1 which comprised of normal rats received distilled water and served as the normal control, while groups 2-7 comprised of rats exposed to Potassium cyanide (KCN) (3 mg/kg). Group 2 received no treatment and served as the negative control. Groups 3, 4 and 5 received 100, 150 and 200 mg/kg of HECO respectively. Group 6 received 200 mg/kg HECO and 200 mg/kg sodium thiosulphate while group 7 was treated with a sodium thiosulphate (200 mg/kg), an established antidote, and served as the positive control. All administrations were done via the oral route and lasted for 14 days. Complete blood count was conducted after the experimental period. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, followed by Tukeys multiple comparisons test and P < .05 was considered significant. Results: Results obtained indicate Red cell indices and white blood cell and differential were all significantly raised (P < .05) in treated rats relative to the negative control rats. Platelet value and Mean corpuscular volume were raised and lowered respectively during induction by the treatments, however, no statistical significance (P < .05) was observed. The results therefore suggest that C. odorata could be valuable in the management of the hematological changes induced by cyanide. Conclusion: HECO reversed the adverse hematological changes in rats induced by cyanide at 100, 150 and 200 doses, with the 200 mg dose being more effective.

“…The packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) of birds within the dietary treatments fell within the normal physiological range of 22.0-35.0 % and 7.0-13.0 g/dL reported by Jain (1993), respectively. This is in agreement with the normal range of PCV and Hb reported by Jiwuba et al (2017) in the study of utilisation of Chromolaena odorata leaf meal by broilers. The red blood cell (RBC) value of birds on combination of 1.5% Carica papaya + 1.5% Chromolaena odorata leaf meals was outside the range and this could possibly suggest polychytemic condition.…”

This is in agreement with Jiwuba et al (2017) who posited that Chromolaena odorata leaf meal diets at inclusion levels of 2, 4 and 6% have the ability to stimulate Lactobacillus growth. However, birds on 0.05% antibiotic diet recorded the lowest value of Lactobacillus count.…”

“…The chemistry of serum is normally used for the diagnosis of organ diseases in farm animals and detection of the amount of available protein in the diets (Iyayi and Tewe, 1998). There were no appreciable differences observed in total protein and albumin of birds which contrast the significant differences reported by Jiwuba et al (2017). The serum urea and creatinine values were…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Carica papaya (CP) and Chromolaena odorata (CO) on growth performance, blood profile, gut integrity of broiler chicken. In a 42-day study, 200 one-day old Arbor Acre broilers were weighed and randomly allotted to 5 dietary treatments with 5 replicates having 8 birds in each group. The treatments were basal diet (negative control, NC), NC + 0.05% antibiotics (positive control, PC), NC + 3% CP, NC + 3% CO and NC + 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO in a completely randomised design. The growth performance indices were measured. On day 42, blood samples were collected, gut microbial population and histopathology were assayed following standard procedure. Results showed that average daily weight gain (g/bird/day) of birds on NC, PC and combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals were significantly similar at the finisher phase. The feed intake of birds on NC and PC was higher than those on 3% CO and combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals. The dietary treatment had effect on feed conversion ratio in the finisher phase. The highest total Lactobacillus count was observed in 3% CO leaf meal diet, while the antibiotics diet (PC) had the highest Escherichia coli count, and the lowest total Escherichia coli count (3.28 cfu x105) was recorded for birds on combination of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO leaf meals. The histopathology of the gut shows that only those fed 3% CP had eroded villi of the mucosa layer, while all other treatments show normal mucosa layer, moderate inflammatory infiltration of the gland and lamina propia except those fed combinations of 1.5% CP + 1.5% CO. Conclusively, the combination of the leaf meals at 1.5% inclusion in broiler diet had positive effect on beneficial gut microbial population.

“…Serum creatinine is a measure of muscle mass. It gives the extent of catabolism of the muscular tissue and the rate of depletion of tissue creatinine phosphate (Jiwuba et al, 2017). The comparison of the value obtained with that of control showed that the inclusion of COLM up to 2% level had no catabolic effect on the muscular tissue.…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of graded levels of Chromolaena odorata leaf meal (COLM) on production performance, egg quality characteristics, and serum biochemical parameters on Brahma laying hens. A total of forty-five local laying hens aged 4 to 5 months were weighed and assigned to three treatment groups in a completely randomized design. COLM was used as a supplement and incorporated into the diets at 0, 1, and 2% in diets T0, T1, and T2 respectively. Data were collected on production performance, egg quality characteristics, and serum biochemistry. Results from the study indicate that body weight gain, average weight, and egg volume were low (p<0.05) with treatment T2 compared to control (T0) and the best was obtained with treatment T1. The Haugh unit and percentage hen day production were not negatively affected by the treatment levels of COLM. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in triglyceride, total cholesterol, and urea. Results obtained from this study revealed that the inclusion of 1% of COLM improved the egg quality as well as the health status of the birds without having any detrimental effect on the birds.
