The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional potential of Spirulina in rats growth and haematological parameters. The study took place along two months. To do this, four batches of six rats were created, with three males and three females in each batch. Batch 1, the control, received conventional pellets and distilled water at 10 ml/kg body weight, while batches 2, 3 and 4 received conventional pellets and Spirulina at 10 (batch 2), 50 (batch 3) and 100 mg/kg body weight (batch 4) respectively. Analysis of the samples taken showed an increase in the weight of the treated animals. Haematological parameters were undisturbed throughout the study. Better still, these haematological parameters improved significantly and the best results were seen in rats given Spirulina at a dose of 100 mg/kg bw.
