This research was aimed to investigate the blood profile and daily gain of fat-tailed growing rams by substituting dried leaves of Moringa oleifera (MOL) and Samanea saman (SSL) to other ingredients in the concentrate feed. 16 growing rams aged between 6 and 8 months (PI0), average body weight (BW) was 13.83±1.73 kg, were placed randomly in an individual cage. The treatments were P14L0=14% of CP concentrate feed without leaves supplement, P14LM-S=14% of CP concentrate feed with MOL (30%),SSL (10%), P18L0=18% of CP feed concentrates without leaves, P18LM-S=18% of CP feed concentrates with MOL (30%), SSL (10%). The rams were fed a basal diet of maize stover plus the concentrate at 2.5 % and 1.% of body weight on dry matter basis, respectively. Drinking water was available ad libitum. Blood sample was taken from the jugular vein and analysed for blood metabolites profile. The results showed that substituting ingredients with MOL and SSL had no significant effect on feed dry matter digestibility as well as on the blood profile. Nevertheless, the total feed intake and daily weight gain increased significantly (P<0.05) as compared to the control diet by 6.5 % and 12.5 %, respectively. The blood profiles of rams i.e.: hemoglobin (8.3 to 9.38 g/dl), leukocyte (47.90 to 68.71/mm 3 ), erythrocytes (4.95 to 5.85 x 10 6 /mm 3 ), blood glucose (53.63 to 56.50 mg/dl), blood urea (19.75 to 24.28 mg/dl), albumin (1.95 to 2.28 g/dl), and globulin (2.73 to 4.10 g/dl) were considered within the normal range suggesting that substituting MOL and SSL did not impair the general health of the rams.
