Translation research articles Abstract: The study was conducted to determine Rumen Characteristics and nitrogen utilization of West
African. Dwarf (WAD) Sheep. Fifteen (15) intact weaned ram lambs with an average weight of 12.25 kg and
aged between 9 and 11 months. Old were randomly allotted to 3 dietary treatments (TA = Guinea, grass
.TB = equal ratio of Guinea grass and dried pineapple pulp and TC = dried pineapple pulp) with five (5) rams
per, treatment. Ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration (mg / liter) in rumen fluid was significantly (P < 0.05)
affected, across treatments. With animals on TA recorded the highest value when compared to TB and TC. No
significant difference (P > 0.05) was observed in pH study in the rumen fluid across treatments. Nitrogen
utilization parameters were significantly affected. (P < 0.05) across dietary treatments. Animals on TA were the
highest in nitrogen intake urinary nitrogen total nitrogen,,, Excreted nitrogen, balance (g / day) and nitrogen
retention (%), but feacal nitrogen (g / day) was the highest in animals on. TB.The inclusion of Dried Pineapple
Pulp (DPP) to Guinea grass in equal ratio (TB) improved rumen parameters and better nitrogen. Utilization of
West African Dwarf Sheep.
