Abstract: The study was conducted to determine the effect of diets containing biochar and clay on the hematological indices, serum biochemistry and total bacterial viable count of broiler. Ninety six broilers were allocated to four treatments diets having three replicates of eight broilers in a completely randomized design. Data were collected on red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), platelets count, lymphocytes, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) levels, creatinine, total protein, total cholesterol, albumin, globulin, urea, Alanine amino transferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and triglyceride in broiler chickens. Results showed that there were significant (p
