“…The glucose level in this study was higher than 58.33-64.33 mg/dl as reported by Okah and Ibeawuchi (2011) from WAD sheep fed graded level of dietary pigeon pea seed meal, and also, higher than 58.61-70.66 mg/dl as observed by Ososanya et al (2014) for WAD ewes fed neem fruit-supplemented diets. The increased level of blood glucose in the rams in this study except in rams that were supplemented with L. purpureus pellets indicated that there was a progressive increase in the level of readily fermentable carbohydrate from the diets (Okah and Ibeawuchi 2011).…”

“…Specifically, there was increase in the PCV, Hb and red blood cell (RBC) except in rams supplemented with M. pruriens pellets, which is an indication that the animals were not anaemic (Ososanya et al 2014). The values observed in this study are in accordance with the recommended values for normal serum parameters in sheep and goat by Pampori (2003).…”

“…White blood cell in animal possesses phagocytic function (Campbell and Coles, 1986) and differential white blood cell counts were used as an indicator of stress response and sensitive biomarkers crucial to immune function [33]. The white blood cell values at 5% NLM was the least in this study disagrees with the findings of [34] that recorded a highest white blood cell value for WAD ewes fed water-washed neem fruit supplemented diet at 5%. Sheep fed 5% NLM had an increase in the serum total protein in post haematology compared to the pre-haematology while the 0% NLM, 10% NLM and 15% NLM had a decrease in the post haematology compared to the pre haematology.…”
