Sex had a significant effect on the hematological components. Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), with males being significantly (P<0.05) higher than females in PCV, HBC and RBC while females were significantly higher (P<0.05) than males in MCV and MCH. No significant sex effect (P>0.05) was recorded on Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Count (MCHC), White Blood Cell count (WBC), Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Esinophils and Basophils. Systems of production had a significant effect (P<0.05) on hematology of guinea fowl particularly on WBC, Neutrophils and Lymphocytes, with those kept on extensive system having a significantly higher (P<0.05) WBC and Neutrophil th an battery cage system while the battery cage system was significantly higher (P<0.05) in Lymphocytes than those kept in extensive system.
