This study investigates haematological parameters in goat treated with three medicinal plants (Vernonia amygdalina, Ocimum grattisimum and Talinum triangulare). Twenty goats were infected with L3 larval stage of nematode parasite and the experiment lasted for 22 days. Standard procedures were employed to investigate the extraction of medicinal plants, animal infection and treatment and blood parameters of the treated goat with medicinal plants. The goat treated with Vernonia amygdalina and Ocimum grattissimum showed high reduction in Packed Cell Volume (PCV), Red Blood Cell (RBC) and Haemoglobin (HB). This showed that the goat treated with these medicinal plants were anaemic. The goat treated with Talinum triangulare showed little reduction in PCV, RBC and HB. This signified that Talinum triangulare can be used to improve vitality of goat. Other parameters like White Blood Cell (WBC), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Cell Heamoglobin Concentration (MCHC) had no significant difference from control. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) had significant difference from control. Hence the research can be used for increasing the economy status of the goat.
