Abstract	The study was carried out to examine the influence of M. oleifera seed meal (MOSM) on haematological and biochemical parameters of broiler chickens. Moringa oleifera seed meal is proven to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. A total of 96 Marshall broiler-chickens were randomly assigned to four dietary groups. Each group contains 24 birds (8 birds per replicate in 3 replicates) in a completely randomized design such that the birds were randomly allocated four dietary treatments (Control diet contained 0% MOSM and 5%, 10% and 15% graded levels of MOSM as diets 2, 3 and 4 respectively). All the haematological parameters measured were within the normal physiological ranges. However, PCV (Packed Cell Volume), RBC (Red Blood Cells), Hb (Haemoglobin Concentration), MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume), MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin), MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration), monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils and heterophils were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by the dietary inclusion of MOSM. The values of PCV, RBC, WBC, and Hb of birds fed graded levels of MOSM were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those fed the control diet (0% MOSM). All the biochemical parameters measured was significantly influenced (P < 0.05) by the varying levels of MOSM. The values of total protein, albumin, albumin-globulin ratio, urea, creatinine and aspartate transaminase (AST) were lower in birds fed 0% MOSM when compared with those fed varying levels of MOSM though the cholesterol values for control was higher (P < 0.05) than those fed with graded levels of MOSM. The study showed that feeding broiler chickens/birds with MOSM up to 15% had no adverse effects on the health birds and this can lower blood cholesterol levels. © 2016.
