Major challenge with use of non-conventional feed ingredients is their antinutrients composition, which can affect nutritional and health status of domesticated animals. Haematological values and liver enzymes present in their blood cells are used to detect these changes. The study was designed to analyze the haematological profile (total blood count, TBC) and liver function indices (serum biochemical profile, SBP) of broiler chickens fed three protein diets (groundnut (GNC), roselle (RSC) and baobab seed cake (BSC) diets) partly substituting soya bean meal, with and without multienzymes supplementation. A total of 352 and 330 Cobb 500 broiler chicks were allocated to four and five dietary treatments with control as maize-soya bean meal diet. Feeding Trial 1 contained GNC, RSC and BSC, while Trial 2 were fed BSC and RSC with and without multienzymes, in a complete randomized design (CRD), at 20% inclusion level for 49 days. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) were used to analyze the data collected and separate means respectively. The result in Trial 1 showed that across the treatments, basophil levels were significant (P˂0.05) and all the parameters tested for the serum biochemical test were not significant (P>0.05), except alkaline phosphatase (ALP) which was lower in birds fed BSC but was comparable to birds in control group. Total blood counts and serum biochemical profile of birds were not affected significantly (P>0.05) with dietary inclusion and multienzymes supplementation in Trial 2. It was concluded that the inclusion of GNC, RSC and BSC in broiler chickens’ diet at 20% did not affect their health and nutritional status.
