Poor egg qualities during heat stress is a regular episode. The potential of Faidherbia albida leaves, a naturally occurring food nutraceutical at ameliorating heat-induced egg quality deterioration in laying birds is yet to be understood. This research aimed at assessing the outcome of serving processed Faidherbia albida leaves meal (FALM) to ISA brown layer chickens. Five different experimental diets were formulated having 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15% FALM of GNC labeled as T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively. One hundred eighty 18 weeks old ISA brown layer (IBL) chickens were served these diets in a completely randomized design. The data collection commenced at the 22nd week old, for seven weeks. The inclusion of FALM non-significantly (p>0.05) affected all the haematological parameters analyzed. These feeding trials had no effect (p>0.05) on serum TBARS of experimental birds, however, it was highest in T1 (0.29 ± 0.269 M-1cm-1), but decreased with increasing levels of dietary FALM from 0.28 ± 0.269 M-1cm-1in T2 to 0.25 ± 0.233 M-1cm-1 in T4. The results of dietary FALM on serum vitamins C and E of experimental IBL chickens were significant (p≤0.05), and the serum vitamin C was highest in T2 (1.00 ± 0.362 mg/dl) and the lowest in T1 (0.58 ± 0.124 mg/dl). Contrarily, this feeding trial significantly decreased the serum concentration of vitamin E against the control. It was observed that dietary FALM non-significantly affected the egg quality traits evaluated except for the egg albumin, where dietary FALM at 5% significantly (p≤0.05) increased albumen (T2: 14.97 ± 2.412 g). Also, a non-significant increase in the egg albumin was noted in T3 and T4 when compared with T1. In conclusion, the present findings showed that FALM had no negative effect on the haemopoiesis of IBL chickens, is a potent antioxidant at ameliorating heat stress-induced egg quality deterioration in IBL chickens.
