Abstract
Protein digestibility by sheep was greatest in alfalfa (Medicago sativ a L.); however, protein digestibility of meadow bromegrass (Bromus bie bersteinii Roem and Schutt) and tame oats was similar to or less than that of eight annual weeds. The digestible energy content of five of t he eight weeds was similar to or greater than that of alfalfa or brome grass.
