Haematology is used in assessing the health status of man and livestock. A 10-week feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the haematological profile of Clarias gariepinus juveniles fed Pueraria phaseoloides leaf meal (PLM) inclusion diets. Five isonitrogenous diets (D1-D5) were formulated to contain 40% crude protein with inclusion of PLM at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% levels, respectively. D1 (0% PLM) served as the control diet. One hundred and fifty C. gariepinus juveniles of initial mean weight of 79.87 ± 5.85 g were randomly allocated to five dietary groups (G1-G5) and three replicates each and fed with the five PLM formulated diets, respectively, at 5% biomass daily. Fifteen concrete tanks of 1m3 volume each were used for the experiment. Each tank was stocked with 10 juveniles. Results showed improved blood profile of fish in all the treatment groups as the inclusion levels of PLM in the formulated diets increased up to the 20% level. The present findings showed that PLM inclusion diets enhanced the blood profile of the experimental fish, hence can be used to ameliorate anemic conditions in African catfish.
