| Abstract: | Tiger nut is consumed by humans and animals. It it possesses some medicinal uses. There is growing evidence in decline in human sperm count and quality. Hence this studies seek to evaluate the effect of Ethanolic extract of Tiger nut on reproductive performance, Haematology and biochemical indices of Red Sokoto Goat. The goats were divided into four treatment groups of three replicates with two animals per replicate. The goats were treated with Ethanolic extract (ET) of Tiger nut at 0ml, 5ml, 10ml and 15ml respectively for thirteen (13) weeks . After which the goats were examined for the Growth, Reproductive performance and Haematology. In conclusion, Ethanolic Extract has the capability of influencing growth, Haematology and serum chemistry of Red Sokoto goats. Hence it could be used as possible fertility booster. The reveals significant difference (P<0.05) in Haemoglobin. Does in T2 and T3 has the highest Haemoglobin and PCV values. This was followed by Does in T4 and T1 respectively |
