The effect of replacement of maize grain by animal fat in a diet with high level of acid detergent fibre on diet digstibility, rumen fermentation and energy content of the diet was evaluated. Six fistulated wether sheep were used in a 2 x 2 Latin square experimental design in three replicates. The results showed that animal fat can replace cereal grains in sheep diets up to the level of 5 percent without any problem on rumen fermentation process
