The utilization of browse legume fodders, such as Cajanus cajan, as hay or silage in combination with pasture grasses has gained considerable attention due to their superior protein content, digestible energy, and total nutrient value. This study investigated the effects of Cajanus cajan foliage inclusion in the diet of 30 growing West African Dwarf (WAD) rams aged 6 – 9 months and weighing 10.75 – 11.68 kg. The rams were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments (six per group) in a completely randomized design over 90 days.
