SummaryApparent digestibility coefficients of five leguminous grains ( 84, 79, 79, 15.0 ; 88, 83, 82, 15.0 ; 91, 84, 86, 14.6 and 53, 53, 55, 9.1 ; 60, 57, 44, 9.3 ; 51, 49, 20, 8.3 ; 60, 50, 43, 8.9 ; 57, 56, 35, 9.4 for straws, respectively.It is concluded that the leguminous grains used are good sources of protein, of high digestibility and of high energy content and that their straws are of higher nutritive value than cereal straws. The relatively lower digestion coefficients obtained with chick peas grain, than with the other grains used, might be associated with its lower CP content, whereas the lower values obtained from chick peas straw might be associated with their low CP and high CFi contents.
