This experiment was carried out to evaluate Pedalium murex leaf powder supplemented in the diet of Guinea fowl: effect on immune response, and serum biochemical indices. 300 -one- day-old guinea fowl (Pearl variety) mixed sex was randomly distributed into five treatment groups with six replicates (ten birds per replicate). A completely randomized design model was adopted and a basic diet was formulated according to the requirement of birds according to Nutritional Research Council’s recommendation in 1994. Birds in group A which also served as the control, was fed basic diet only, group B received basic diet supplemented with Neomycin at 20 g/kg diet while those in group C, D and E were fed same diet supplemented with Pedalium murex leaf powder at 20 g, 40 g and 60 g/kg diet in that order. The experiment lasted for 42 days and animals were given unlimited access to water and feed. Values of immunoglobulin A, G and M were higher in birds fed Pedalium murex leaf powder (C, D and E), intermediate in group B and lower in group A (p˂0.05). Hematocrit, heamoglobin, red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration were not affected (p˃0.05) except for white blood cell, lymphocytes and monocyte count. Values for total protein, albumin, globulin and total cholesterol were significantly influenced (p˂0.05) except for glucose, uric acid, creatinine and aspartate amino-transferase (p˃0.05). It was concluded that dietary supplementation of Pedalium murex leaf powder up to 60 g/kg had to detrimental effect on the blood profile of birds
