Abstract
POME-treated Napier grass was consumed as readily as grass from other plots by gears and shed, anti the differences were not significant for both goats and sheep. In vitro digestibility studies indicated that P OME-treated Napier grass was digested significantly faster than grass from untreated control plot.
