Abstract

Eighteen mature Barkj rams were divided into three main groups; first group < /p> had 10 9 seeds. second had 30 9 seeds and third group served as a control. Each group was divided according to body weight into light and heavy weight subgroups The basal diet consisted of 60% concentrates and 40% roughage. High protein content (24.52%) and ether extract (6.62%) characterize fenugreek seeds. Animals fed 30 9 seeds had the lowest (P<0.05) DM. CP and ADF digestibility coefficients. Animals fed 10 9 seeds had similar digestion coefficients to those of control. Heavy weight animals had lower digestion coefficrents than light weight ones for 10 g seeds fed group and control. Nitrogen balance was higher (P<0.05) for the 30 9 fed group. The HW animals showed higher NB than LW except for control. TDM (glKgO.'/5) intakes were similar among groups while TDNI was lower for 309 seeds fed group and so was DCPI and TDN%. Blood parameters (TP. albumin and globulin) were not significantly different. It is concluded that the addition of fenugreek seeds might be beneficial to animals at low levels. yet further studies. however, are evident
