and analysed for their chemical constituencies after either sun-(4 days) or over-drying (60° C
for 48 h). An experiment was conducted with three rumen fistulated Friesian steers (440±20
kg live mass) to estimate the rumen degradability characteristics of dry matter in the dried
forage legumes using the nylon bag technique. The chemical composition of the legumes
showed substantial variations. Crude protein (CP) content varied from 225 to 282 g/kg DM …
