Abstract
The present work was designed to demonstrate the effect of two different levels of Olive leaves (5, 10)% in diet on blood traits in male Rabbits. We used in Experiment Twenty one male Rabbits with body weight average 1.1-1.3 kg and 4-5 months age were bought from Local Markets, and they were divided randomly into three equal groups with equal weight, Put in Metal Cages were fed on concentrate pellets diet with green roughage, The male Rabbits were divided to three equal groups and by 7 animals/ group with equal weights. The 1st group (T1) (control group) was offered drinking water and fed concentrate pellets without ground olive leaves, the 2nd one (T2) offered drinking water and fed concentrate pellets with 5% ground olive leaves/diet, while the 3rd one (T3) offered drinking water and fed concentrate pellets with 10% ground olive leaves concentrate diet. Blood samples were collected for measuring the following parameters: Total WBC count, the percentage of WBC differential count, Hemoglobin and PCV percentage, The results revealed that, significant increases (P<0.05) in treated groups T2, T3 in total WBCs account, the percentage of WBC differential count Lymphocytes, Monocytes and Hb, PCV% as compare with T1 control group, and significant decrease (P<0.05) in T2, T3 in Neutrophil% compare with control group while there is no significant differences in Eosinophil and Basophil % in blood. On conclusion it seems that the use of Ground Olive leaves at (5, 10)% diet in Male Rabbits diet will enhance the Blood parameters and increase immunity response
