Abstract

Biochemical studies with a view to assess the organic and inorganic content of Sun-Dried Rumen Digesta from goat slaughtered in Zuru central slaughterhouse were carried out. Four values for each nutrient were collected according to samples analyzed. The results of mean percentages showed that the samples contained 5.51±0.28 moisture, 15.35 ± 0.35 crude protein, 5.51 ± 0.29 lipids, 14.44 ± 0.82 ash, 18.44 ± 0.58 fiber, and 40.70 ± 4.22 Nitrogen Free Extract. The inorganic contents were 2.46 ± 0.02 sodium, 0.64 ± 0.01 potassium, 0.83 ± 0.03 magnesium, 0.57 ± 0.03 calcium and 1.29 ±0.02 phosphorus. The results indicated that rumen digesta from goat slaughtered in Zuru central slaughterhouse has nutritional qualities that could provide livestock producers with organic and inorganic nutrients for enhanced livestock nutrition. Therefore the Sun-Dried Rumen Digesta from goat is recommended for feeding livestock in the study area
