Abstract: An investigation was conducted on hematological parameters of sixteen Pantja goats, aged 6-8 months, as part of a 90 days feeding trial utilizing Ardu (
Ailanthus excelsa) foliage powder. The goats were allocated at random into four treatment groups (C, T
1, T
2, and T
3), with each group consisting of four goats. As a result, the average weight of the goats in each group was approximately equivalent. The Control group (C) received a 100% concentrate supplement; T
1 received a 75% concentrate containing 25% Ardu leaf powder; T
2 received a 50% concentrate containing 50% Ardu leaf powder; and T
3 received a 25% concentrate containing 75% Ardu leaf powder.
Blood sample collection occurred on the 0th, 60th, and 90th days. Hematological parameters including hemoglobin, TEC, PCV, MCH, and MCV were found to be significantly (P0.05) lower in experimental group C compared to goats in treatment group T3. However, these parameters were significantly and maximally higher (P0.05) in treatment group T3. Conversely, the situation was reversed with regard to parameters including MCHC and TLC. The biochemical parameters analysis revealed that T3 had the lowest and minimum values for serum glucose, serum cholesterol, LDL, serum triglyceride, ALT, and AST (all at least a P0.05). In contrast, C exhibited the highest levels of HDL, serum total protein, serum albumin, serum globulin, and serum calcium.
