The present study was conducted to compare the nutritive value of sunflower with that of the traditionally fed mustard-cake. 
Nali rams (12) of mean body weight of about 25 kg were divided into 2 groups of 6 each. They were fed gram (Cicer arietinum L.) straw as basal roughage. One group was supplemented with expeller- processed mustard-cake (MC-control) and the other with expeller undecorticated sunflower-cake (SFC-test) alone to eliminate the associative effect of other feed ingredients. The sheep under the dietary treatments were fed CP and ME as per requirement (NRC 1985) and the ratio of roughage to protein supplement was about 80:20 (on the basis of ME requirement). Mineral mixture (10g) and common salt (10g) were supplemented to each animal. The trial continued for 29 days including a metabolism trial of 6 days. Representative sampIes of feed, feed refusaIs, faeces and urine were collected daily during collection period and analysed for proximate composition (AOAC 1990). The digestibility coefficients of organic nutrients of gram straw as reported by Akbar and Gupta (1990) were used for calculating nutritive value of sunflower-cake and mustard-cake by difference (Schneider and Flatt 1975). Digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) values were calculated by the Rostok equations (Schieman et al. 1971), The nitrogen balance was also calculated. The feeding value of cake-based diets was compared by standard statistical procedure (Snedecor and Cochran 1980).
