    Abstract: Methanol extract of <I>Morus alba </I>Foliage (MFE) was studied 
  to evaluate its effect on hematological parameters and liver histology of African 
  catfish (<I>Clarias gariepinus</I>). The trial consisted of five diets preparation, 
  i.e., control diet (diet 1) and four tested diets supplemented, respectively 
  with 2 g MFE kg<SUP>-1</SUP> (MFE-2), 5 g MFE kg<SUP>-1</SUP> (MFE -5), 7 g 
  MFE kg<SUP>-1</SUP> (MFE -7) and 9 g MFE kg<SUP>-1</SUP> (MFE -9) of Dry Matter 
  (DM) diet. Results showed fish fed with MFE-5 and MFE-7 diets had (p&lt;0.05) 
  the highest RBC counts, Hb content, albumin and total protein levels among other 
  dietary groups while MFE-9 showed the poorest RBC, albumin and total protein. 
  Histological study indicated that fish received MFE-9 diet showed minor degenerative 
  changes in the liver. In conclusion, methanol extract of <I>Morus alba </I>at 
  7 g kg<SUP>-1</SUP> of diet has no adverse impact on hematology and liver&#146;s 
  histology in African catfish.
