“…The CP content of the dried rumen digesta obtained from species of animals fell within the 7-8% requirement for satisfactory rumen function to enhance feed intake in ruminant animals. The result however contradict findings of Rios-Rincon et al, (2010), Nasser et al, (2012), Olafadehan et al, (2014, Mahmoud and Khadiga (2015), Talib et al, (2016) and Sakaba et al, 2017) on crude protein obtained from rumen digesta. This contrast may be due to the nutritive quality of the pastures, season and the holding time between feeding and slaughter.…”

Purpose: The work evaluated the nutritive value of dried rumen digesta (DRD) from cattle (CRD), sheep (SRD) and goat (GRD) in Bolgatanga Abattoir, Ghana.Methodology: Rumen digesta (RD) was collected from twenty-seven (27)) animals, nine each from cattle, sheep and goat at the Bolgatanga Municipal Abattoir and sundried for 4 days. Proximate analysis, cell wall component and metabolizable energy were estimated after which the data was subjected to analysis of variance for statistical difference at 0.05% level.Findings: Result obtained showed significant differences (P< 0.05) in proximate compositions. Goat Rumen Digesta (GRD) had highest organic matter (90.81%), Crude protein (12.17%) and metabolizable energy (ME) (374.24 Kca/100g) compared to the other experimental digesta from cattle. The Neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and cellulose were not significantly different across the rumen digesta obtained from the species of animals.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The values for organic matter and crude compositions obtained from the Sun-dried rumen digesta from cattle, sheep and goat indicated the ability of rumen digesta to provide the nutrients particularly protein required by animals for normal physiological activities. Farmers can process the digesta and include it in livestock feeds.

This study was conducted on twelve(6 male and 6 female) local calves aged 3.5-4 months and weights 50.10 ± 2.70 kg., calves were divided into 2 main groups (6 calves/group), each main group was divided into 2 subgroup according to their sex (3 males or 3 females calves/group), and fed ad libitum on iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric rations,1st main group was fed on the first ration consist mainly of barley, soybean meal, yellow maize and wheat bran (control), while 2nd main group was fed on the second ration the same control ration, but barley and soybean meal were treated with acidic formaldehyde, in addition to feeding milk until weaning age at 8 months. Results indicated that there were no significant effect of formaldehyde treatment and calves sexes on productive performance (feed consumptions, daily and total weight gain, final body weight, and all body measurements), hematological (red & white blood counts, hemoglobin, packed cell volume and platelets counts), biochemical parameters (total protein, albumin, globulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and blood urea) and concentration of some mineral elements (calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and manganese) in the blood serum. While the results indicated that of red and white blood count, packed cell volume, hemoglobin, total protein, globulin and urea were increased (P≤0.05) significantly, while the blood glucose, glycerol and triglyceride were decreased significantly (P≤0.05) by increasing the calves age.
