Abstract 648.c1985  aAbstracts of the 77 ASAS Annual Meeting, Biloxi, Mississipi, 1985.  aAdjacent fields of Clitoria ternatea (CT) and forage sorghum (FS) were each divided in half. Early (E) and late (L) forages were harvested, enslled, and fed ad Ilbltum to 40 adult male criollo goats for 21 days in a randomized design. Silage analyses (% of dry mat ter) for neutral (NDF) and acid detergent fiber, crude protein and KMNO4 lignin were: ECT, 49.8, 34.7, 19.2, 9.8; LCT. 55.9, 34.6, 17.6, lO.7; EFS, 77.4, 48.8, 4.6, 8.4; and LFS, 69.3, 43.O, 4.9, 9.2. Total feces were collected for 7 days. Treatment means for voluntary intake (DMI) and apparent digestibility (DDM) of dry matter, digestible DMI (DDMI), and rumination (~uT) and eating (ET) time are shawn in the table. DDM and DDMI decreased with advanced maturity in both CT and FS. A greather DMI nad DDM of EFS than of LFS may have been partially due to a greater NDF aparent digestibility (8.4 percentage units).  aAnimal nutrition  aDigestibility  aFeed intake  aGoats  aLegumes  aAlimento para animal  aCaprino  aClitoria Ternatea  aConsumo  aCunhã  aDigestibilidade  aLeguminosa  aNutrição animal  aPlanta Forrageira  aConsumption  aFibres1 aCARNEIRO, H.1 aBEZERRA, M.1 aARRUDA, F. de A.
