    Feed shortage and high cost of conventional feed ingredients in the tropics and the keen The gas volume produced at the end of 24 hrs incubation for D3 was lower than in D1 and (SBCW). Three diets were formulated at 0%, 10% and 20% levels of SBCW respectively as performance of West African dwarf (WAD) sheep fed graded levels of soybean cheese waste intake (DDMI) of WAD sheep fed D3 was highest compared to other diets. A similar trend matter digestibility (OMD), metabolizable energy (ME) and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) dietary treatments for 102 days. The crude protein (CP) content of the diets varied competition between man and other farm animals necessitated the need to search for alternative feed resources that are cheap, available at all times but not toxic for ruminants to was observed in average daily weight gain (ADWG). D3 had the least cost per kg of diet enhance their productivity. Hence, this study examined the fermentation characteristics and values were similar except for D3 which had higher OMD than D1 and D2. Daily dry matter D1, D2 and D3. Eighteen WAD sheep averaging 14 kg were randomly allocated to the among the others. From the results obtained, it was observed that diet D3 appeared to be the D2. The methane volume produced was least in D3 and highest in D1. The calculated organic significantly (p < 0.05) with CPof D1 being lowest (12.18 %) and highest in D3 (17.75 %). best and economically viable for sheep production.
