Pods of each variety were hand harvested from natural vegetation around Montpellier, France. The in vivo and in sacco techniques were used to estimate degradability of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) using a lot of castrated male Arles Merino sheep and rumen fistulated sheep. The mean daily ingestion value per animal varied between 57-80 g of the dry matter of pods/kg live weight(0.75); the digestibility values varied considerably between individuals (44.7-71.9% of the DM). More than 55% of the DM of the pods was digested after an incubation period of 8 h. The protein digestibility showed a rate of particle disappearance (kp = 0.06) in rumen inferior to that obtained by the standard diet. The animals with a higher ingestion rate had a lesser digestion. The nitrogen digestibility rate (coefficient of digestive utilization = CDU) was superior for the fistulated animals (CDUN = 50-5217o) compared to non-fistulated animals (CDUN = 18-30%). The nutrient content and digestion parameters for varieties Milaud and Total were higher than Super-M and Voie-Ferrg-Marchandise varieties.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:000240839000009</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">088VKTimes Cited:1Cited References Count:19</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foroughbakhch, RUniv Autonoma Nuevo Leon, Fac Ciencias Biol, AP F-2, San Nicolas De Los Garza 66451, NL, MexicoUniv Autonoma Nuevo Leon, Fac Ciencias Biol, AP F-2, San Nicolas De Los Garza 66451, NL, MexicoUniv Autonoma Nuevo Leon, Fac Ciencias Biol, San Nicolas De Los Garza 66451, NL, MexicoInst Natl Rech Agron, F-34033 Montpellier, France</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
