Abstract: This research work was conducted at animal laboratory in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science & Technology University, Dinajpur for a period of 45 days . The experiment was undertaken to investigate the effect of wheat grass on hemato-biochemical parameters and body weight in rabbit. Twenty rabbits age between 3-4 months and weighing about 1200-1500 gm were acclimatized for 2 weeks and then randomly assigned into four groups (T0, T1, T2 and T3) and 5 rabbits in each group. Group T0 was kept for control group and chopped wheat grass supplementation was given to the group T1, T2 and T3 at the dose rate of 3 gm, 5 gm, 7 gm/kg body weight respectively for 45 days. On day 15, 30, 45 blood samples were collected and analyzed for hemoglobin, PCV, RBC, TLC, DLC, SGOT, SGPT and body weight from 0-45 days were calculated and statistically analysed. There was significant (P>0.05) increased in hemoglobin concentration, PCV, RBC, TLC, DLC count in the group receiving wheat grass compare to control group and highest value was found in group T2 but statistically not significant (P
