ABSTRACT

 This experiment was carried out to study the haematological and biochemical values and relative organ weights of eighteen red Sokoto goats, 5-6 months of age, fed diastic microbes degraded municipal organic waste. The treated feed produced was included at the following levels T, (0% treated municipal organic waste), Tn (45% treated municipal organic waste) and Tc (70% treated municipal organic waste). The trial lasted for 42 days. The mean I-lb (g/dl), PCV (%), MCV (um") RBC (10x'ml) and WBC (mm") were 0.95g/dl, 2.84%, 2.63m, 0.51x10ml, 0.l6x10mm3, respectively. There were significant differences (P<0.05) observed in the I-lb, with Tc (1 l.00g/dl) having the highest value while T, and Tu had (10.00g/dl) and (5.00g/dl). There were significant differences (P<0.05) observed in the PCV, with Tc (33.00%) having the highest value while T, and Tu had (30.00%) and ( 15.00%). There were also significant differences (P<0.05) observed in the MCV, with Tc (53.22m") having the highest value while T» and T had (50.00 m") and (38.40 µm3) respectively .There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in RBC and WBC in the 3 treatments. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in Total protein, with Tg (5.14g/dl) having the highest value while T,% and Tc had (4.40g/dl) and (3.60g/dl), Thcrc were significant differences (P<0.05) in Globulin, with Tu (2.0g/dl) having the highest value while T II and Tc had ( 1.00g/dl) and (0.70g/dl) and There were significant differences (P<0.05) in Urea, with T» (21.00g/dl) having the highest value while T, and Tc had (40.00g/dl) and (0.70g/dl). No significant differences (P>0.05) observed in Albumin and Crcatinine in the 3 treatments. The Scrum urea was highest in the goats in T» (150.00g/dl), resulting in the increased weight of the kidney and the packed cell volume of treatment A and C, fell within the range of values for red Sokoto goats. This shows good working condition of the heart
