The effects of diet preparation of Telfaria occidentalis on
some haematological indices were carried out on male albino rats. The
animals were fed for 4 weeks on diets specially composed to contain
25%, 50% and 57% by weight of the leaf of Telfaria occidentalis . The
diet preparations produced a dose-dependent increases in all the
measured haematological indices (packed cell volume, heamoglobin
concentration red and white blood cell counts). The results confirm the
claim that Telfaria occidentalis can be used to cure anaemia
