Energy values of dry matter ranged from 4-11 to 4-48 kacl/g and those of organic matter from 4-47 to 4-94 kacl/g. There was a positive correlation between the energy value of organic matter and the crude protein content (r=0-84, p&lt0-01). The apparent digestibility of feed energy was correlated with species, age and dry matter digestibility but there were significant differences between the regression equations for each species  aDigitaria Decumbens  aPhaseolus Atropurpureus  aSiratro  aValor Nutritivo  aValor energético1 aMILFORD, R.  tAustralian Journal of Agriculture Researchgv. 17, p. 411-423, 1966.
