Haematological indices and serum biochemistry of broiler chicken finisher fed diets containing dried avocado pear seed (Persea americana) meal

The general acceptability of plants with proven records of medicinal values in the tropics in recent times has necessitated the use of dried avocado pear in the broiler diet and its possible effects on haematological variables and biochemical indices. The study focused on haematological and biochemi...
