Abstract

This trial was conducted at the Estação Experimental Central of the Instituto de Zootecnia, in Nova Odessa, State of São Paulo, Brazil, lo evaluate the nutritive value through intake and apparent digestibility of pangola hay and pangola hay with 33% or 67% of Indigofera hirsuta hay on a dry matter basis. Fifteen male castrated sheps with an average weight of 29.68 ± 2.09 kg were utilized on a total facces collection trial. The sheeps were vermifugated in the begnning of the trial. The digestibility coefficients were in general lower for the treatments with the Indigofera hay, and presented also a lower intake and nutritive value. the mean daily dry matter intake was 68.88 g/kg LW0 for the pangola hay, 51.55 g/kg LW0 for lhe pangola with 33% Indigofera and 49.0 g/kg LW0,75 for the pangola with 67% Indigofera. the TDN and nutritive value were, in the same order, 62.28%, 52.83%, 51.99%, and 42.87%, 27.17%, 25.69%. Although the lndigofera hay decreased the nutritive value; the digestible protein of the 67% treatment was higher than in the others.
