Popis: Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) was included in broiler chickens’ diets at graded levels of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% to make 5 treatments to assess haematology, serum biochemistry and haemagglutination potential in broiler chickens fed the experimental diets. The diets were formulated to be iso-caloric and isonitrogenous. Two hundred (200) day-old Cobb broiler chicks were randomly allotted to the treatments in a completely randomized design having 10 birds and four replications per treatment. Water and feed were given ad libitum. Blood samples were collected from the animals through the wing vein for haematology, serum biochemistry and haemagglutination potential. The results showed that packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, monophils and eosinophils were significantly (p0.05) affected by the dietary treatments except cholesterol which was significantly (p
