Abstract: \nThe objective of this study was to assess the effect of noni leaf meal on the blood profile, creatinine, and urea nitrogen of male ducks at different levels of inclusion into the diet. The research involved 84 male local ducks that were reared for 6 weeks and fed diets containing crude protein at 18% and metabolizable energy at 3000 kcal/kg. The treatment diets in this study consisted of a control diet with no addition of noni-leaf meal and diets with the addition of nonileaf meal at 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5%. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications. The results indicated that the noni leaf meal had no significant effect on the erythrocytes (2.71-2.88 million/mm3), haematocrit (32.80-37.20%), haemoglobin (12.85-13.88 g%), leukocytes (5.37-10.20 thousand/mm3), and creatine (0.08-0.12 mg/dl), but it decreased blood urea nitrogen. It was concluded that the dietary of up to 7.5% noni leaf meal did not adversely affect blood profile and creatine levels, but reduced blood urea nitrogen levels.\n
