Résumé

Effects of partial replacement of soyabean meal with cashew nut meal on haematological indices of weaner rabbits was investigated using 30 weaner rabbits. The rabbits were allocated to 5 dietary treatments. Treatment was replicated thrice using two rabbits per replicate in a completely randomized design experiment. Five diet were formulated which contained 0% (control), 5, 10, 15 and 20% of cashew nut meal. The experiment lasted for four (4) weeks. The result showed that the
partial replacement of soyabean meal with cashew nut meal resulted in a significant (P<0.05) difference in all the haematological parameters measured across the dietary treatments. Rabbits on T3 recorded the highest value of Pack Cell Volume (42%) while the lowest value for PVC was noticed for rabbits on T5 (25.50). Rabbits on T1 recorded the highest value of WBC (5.10%) while the lowest WBC (4.85%) was obtained for rabbits on T4. It can be concluded that the inclusion of cashew nut meal in rabbits was found to be effective without adverse effect on haematological indices of weaner rabbits.
