An experiment was conducted to evaluate the utilization of trona (kanwa) in the diet of yearling Uda rams. A complete experimental diet was formulated and graded levels of different forms of trona at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 0kg of maifatsi and yarzankuwa per 100 kg inclusion levels. The experimental diet was fed to twenty eight (28) yearling Uda rams. Data was collected on different form of Kanwa and analyze of chemical composition of different forms of trona (kanwa), and: determination of feed intake and growth performance. The mineralogical composition of the trona indicates that yarzankuwa and maifatsi contained Na (18,000 and 20,400), K (5,000 and 5,000), P (6.30 and 8.25) in mg/kg respectively. Results on rams performance revealed significant difference (P<0.05) between treatment 2 and other treatments in terms of average daily gain (ADG), final body weight as well as the feed conversion ratio. There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in final body weight of rams fed 10 g / kg maifatsi (T2) compared to other treatments.
