Twenty five (25) mixed breed weaner rabbits were utilized in an 84 - day experiment to investigate the effect of replacing bone ash with fresh water snail (Pila ampullacea) shell ash on the haematological indices of weaner rabbits. Five experimental diets (T1 - T5) were formulated such that fresh water snail (Pila ampullacea) shell ash replaced bone ash at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% for treatments T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 respectively. The rabbits were randomly assigned to the five dietary treatments and replicated five times with one rabbit per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). The study showed that the haematological parameters were not affected (P˃0.05) by the dietary treatments. This study revealed that fresh water snail (Pila ampullacea) shell ash can serve as a substitute for bone ash in weaner rabbits diet up to 100% without compromising their health status.
