Conteúdo: 	Abstract: An experiment was carried out to compare the digestibility of five concentrate ingredients (barley, beet pulp, citrus pulp, maize gluten feed and grain screenings) in cattle or sheep, fed at ?1.2 maintenance. Four wether sheep and four steers were fed each concentrate, which comprised ?800 g/kg of the dietary dry matter (DM). The remaining 200 g/kg was a hay/soyabean meal mixture whose digestibility was determined simultaneously in another four sheep and cattle. Following diet introduction and adaptation, faeces were collected for a 10-day period. Across diets, there was no difference (p >0.05) between sheep and cattle in digestibility of organic matter (OM, 0.784 and 0.78, respectively, standard error of the difference (s.e.d.), 0.0049), crude protein (0.586 and 0.577, respectively, s.e.d. 0.0192), or neutral detergent fibre (0.632 and 0.628, respectively, s.e.d. 0.0116). However, cattle digested the OM (0.749 vs. 0.724, p <0.05, s.e.d. 0.0106) of maize gluten feed better than sheep, but there were no significant differences (p >0.05) between sheep and cattle with any of the other four feeds. These results do not support previous conclusions that sheep digest concentrates better than cattle, but they do suggest that there are differences within specific feeds.
