ABSTRACT
This study carried out in Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta evaluates the feeding value of M. oleifera leaf meal-based (MOLM) concentrate as supplement for West African dwarf (WAD) sheep production. Five dietary concentrates were formulated with M. oleifera included at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of concentrate diet and chemical composition of the diets was determined using 25 WAD sheep (r=5). Results showed that diet with 20% MOLM inclusion had the highest CP content (21.60%), ash (18.75%), As the level of inclusion increased from 0 - 20% MOLM, there was a decrease in methane production from 13.00 - 8.50 mL/200 mg DM. The highest metabolizable energy (ME) (24.53 MJ/kg DM) was obtained at 20% MOLM inclusion whereas highest (p
