Abstract
Moringa oleifera has not found much use as human food and feed for ruminants compared to other known fodder trees in South- Western Nigeria. Feed blocks were made using 30% Moringa oleifera, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala leaf meals to supplement basal diets of guinea grass – cassava peels mixture for small ruminants. The diets were fed to 32 West African Dwarf rams with average weight of 11.2+ 0.6 kg in a completely randomized design and body weight gain, linear body measurements, physiological parameters, nitrogen retention and haematological indices were measured. The basal diets and feed blocks contained 8.14g 100g -1
