I. A. Amata Abstract In an experiment to determine the effect of feeding graded levels of Gliricidia sepium Leaf Meal (GLM) on the heamatology, serum chemistry and carcass characteristics of rabbits in the tropics, twenty-five (25) weaned rabbits of mixed sexes, 5-6 weeks old, were randomly allotted to five (5) dietary treatments in which GLM replaced soybean meal (SBM) at 0% (control), 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% with five (5) rabbits per treatment in a completely randomised design. Each rabbit constituted a replicate. Haematological and serological parameters measured at the end of 8 weeks of feeding indicated significant (P<0.05) variations in packed cell volume (PCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) and serum albumins, and highly significant (P<0.01) changes in erythrocyte counts (RBC), leucocytes counts (WBC) and in total serum proteins with variations in the level of dietary GLM. The haemoglobin (Hb), mean cell volume (MCV) mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and serum globulins were, however, unaffected (P>0.05) by variations in the level of dietary GLM.
