.This study investigates Dietary Effect of Sundried Cassava Starch Extract Pulp on the Haematology and Serum Biochemistry of Weaned Pigs in Oyo State, Nigeria. It focuses on the graded levels of sundried cassava starch extract pulp and blood indices (haematology and serum biochemistry) of crossbred (Largewhite x Landrace) weaned pigs. Sixteen (16) eight
weeks old weaned pigs were randomly allotted into four dietary treatments containing 0%, 25%, 50% and 75% levels of sundried cassava starch extract pulp inclusion represented as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Each treatment had four pigs with two replicates each individually penned. The experimental design used was Completely Randomized Design. At the end of the
feeding trial, blood sample (3ml) were collected from one pig in each replicate per treatment via the ear vein puncture using sterilized needle and syringe and taken to the laboratory for haematological and serum biochemistry analysis. Data obtained in each measured parameter was subjected to analysis of variance. Equal half of each sample was emptied into two different
sets of bottles. One containing Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid anticoagulant to determine
packed cell volume, haemoglobin, white blood cell, red blood cell, platelet and white blood cell differential counts. Pigs fed diet 4 had higher packed cell volume, haemoglobin and red blood cell of 40.67%, 13.40g% and 6.42x106 . However, pigs maintained on diet 3 recorded the highest values of 66.00x103u/l and 112.00x103 for white blood cell and platelet respectively. It can be concluded that sundried cassava starch extract pulp can be included in the diet of crossbred weaned pigs at 75% level without any adverse effects on the blood indices of the pigs.
