AB  - In the present experiment, 5 diets were formulated, control diet, 2 levels of leucaena seeds (6 and 12%) were supplemented with Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) (0, 0.2%). Poor performance was associated with the inclusion of 12% leucaena seeds diets. Haemaological indices were not significantly (p&gt;0.05) affected by the dietary treatments except PCV% and MCHC%. Though PCV% for birds fed leucaena seeds diets was not significantly (p&gt;0.05) different compared to the control. Plasma constituents were not significantly (p&gt;0.05) influenced by the dietary treatments except total protein, albumin and globulin. Leg abnormality showed that supplementation of 12% leucaena seed with EDTA had no effect. EDTA supplementation did not significantly (p&gt;0.05) affected feed intake, FCR and PER.
