Abstract

Aims: The study was carried out to evaluate Zingiber officinale supplementation on haematology and serum biochemical properties of Yankasa rams. Methodology: Four complete experimental diets were formulated with graded levels of ginger at 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/kg inclusion levels. The four experimental diets were fed to twenty (20) intact male animals. A completely randomized experimental design (CRD) was used in the experiment with number of animals representing replication and graded levels of ginger representing treatments. Results: Results indicated no significant difference (P˃0.05) between treatment means on biochemical and haematological parameters (p˃0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that ginger supplementation up to 7 g/kg did not have significant effect on the haematological and biochemical indices of Yankasa rams.
