An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of Moringa oleifera leaves, Lannea barteri bark and antibiotic additives on haematological parameters of C. gariepinus fingerlings. Moringa and Lannea were subjected to three (3) treatments (whole, aqueous and ethanol). Four hundred and eighty (480) C. gariepinus fingerlings of 4.60 g ± 0.02 g mean weight were acclimated for two weeks and distributed randomly into 24 re-circulatory tanks of 50 litres volume capacity representing 8 experimental diets. The experimental diets comprised the same inclusion levels. A commercial reference diet (CRD) was used as control. Moringa whole (MWL), Moringa aqueous extract (MAE) and Moringa ethanol extract (MEE) represented diet 2, 3 and 4 respectively while Lannea whole (LWL), Lannea aqueous extract (LAE) and Lannea ethanol extract (LEE) representing diet 5, 6 and 7 while diet 8 was antibio..
