growth performance, nutrient digestibility and haematological parameters of red sokoto goats fed sabara (guiera senegalensis) leaf meal

the objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of sabara leaf meal on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and haematological parameters of red sokoto goats. bucks were managed in a complete randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates. the sabara leaf meal (slm) was fed at concentration of 0, 10, 20 and 30% in treatment 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. the experimental diets and clean drinking water were offered to the animals ad libitum. initial body weights were all similar. bucks fed diets with 10 and 20% sabara leaf meal (slm) gained weight (p
