A study was conducted to evaluate the hematological, histological and anthelmintic effects of non-conventional feedstuff on ranged sasso chicken. A total of 150 sasso chicken were divided to 5 groups and fed with 4 formulated diets with 5% of betel, sword fern, oregano and tawa-tawa leaf meals and 1 control diet for 8 weeks. The study was conducted at ISU, College of Agriculture Student Instructional Unit. The study was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results of the study show that in the hematological analysis, comparable data were seen in the WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit and MCH. However, in the MCV, the birds fed with 5% tawa-tawa had the lowest result at 104.53fL but is within the normal range. Also, 5% betel leaf gave the highest result in platelet at 140.50 109/L followed by 5% swordfern 80.50 109/L. Comparable data were observed in jejunal surface area of villi. However, significant difference was observed in the crypt depth. 5% tawa-tawa had the highest result at 26603.11 µm. The non-conventional feedstuff had no effect in the elimination of intestinal parasites. Use of non-conventional feedstuff as an additive to the poultry diet is suggested. However, to have a conclusive result on the histology of the intestines, it is recommended that samples of all the segment of the small intestines should be collected. It is also recommended that a concentrated solution of the local feedstuff such as leaf extract or methanol extract be used for further studies.
