Digestibility of the herbage of the indigenous tree Antiaris qfricana was investigated. Digestion coefficients (%) were-organic matter 67, dry matter 64, crude protein 78, crude fibre 39, nitrogen-free extract 74, ether extract 36 and ash 36. Calculated nutritive values were-starch equivalent 23-2 and digestible crude protein 3-7, giving a nutritive ratio of about 1 : 6. The herbage was young and its palatability high.
