Description:
The effect of substituting soybean meal with raw sunflower and sesame seed meal was evaluated using haematological indices of Clarias gariepinus fed the diets containing sunflower and sesame seed meal. Seven isonitrogeneous and isocaloric diets containing sunflower and sesame seed meal replacing soybean meal at a rate of 15, 30 and 45% were prepared. A diet without replacement of soybean meal served as control. The result of fish fed test diets showed significant (P〈0.05) difference over the fish fed control diet with respect to PCV and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Fish fed control diet had the lowest Hb, PCV, WBC, RBC, MCV, MCHC, ESr. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the fish fed control diet and test diets with respect to MCH, MCHC, ESr, Neutrophil, Monocytes, Eusinophils and Lymphocytes. Hence it can be concluded that the haemotological parameter of Clarias gariepinus is not significantly (P〉0.05) changed with increase dietary inclusion of raw sunflower and sesame seed meal.
