<p>The focus of this research was to investigate how tannin extract from black tea influenced the hematological and histopathological evaluations of male rabbits fed a mycotoxin-contaminated feed, including 17 ppb aflatoxin, 5 ppb ochratoxin and 2 ppb fumonisin. A total of 28 local male rabbits were allocated into four groups, the first of which was a control group. The second was fed a Mycotoxin-contaminated meal. The third was given a Mycotoxin feeding with tannin extracts (125mg/mL per head) administered orally, while the fourth was fed a Mycotoxin contaminated diet with tannin extracts (250 mg/mL per head) given orally. The findings revealed that tannin extracts seemed to have a significant positive impact on haematological results, particularly RBCs and WBCs, throughout the period; however, the 250 mg/mL dose showed no significant differences in Hb levels. Nonetheless, as compared to the Mycotoxin group, the histopathological sections of tannin extract demonstrated a reduction in the toxicity of the Mycotoxin diet on the liver and kidney tissues; conversely, the tissue sections of the control animals showed no abnormalities.
