Nutrient intake and digestibility of berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrium), lucerne (Medicago Sativa) and oats (Avena sativa) as winter fodders were fed to female goats (n = 45, age = 720 days, body weight = 32 kg) and sheep (n = 45, age = 690 days, body weight = 32 kg).  Intakes of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), and gross energy (GE) were determined over a 30-day period.  In addition, total tract apparent digestibility of DM, CP, NDF and ADF were measured for 5 days with 3 animals per treatment.  Intakes of NDF and GE were higher (P<0.05) with lucerne compared to berseem clover independent of animal species, and oats presented the lowest (P<0.05) CP intake compared to other fodders.  The highest (P<0.05) CP digestibility was obtained with feeding of lucerne, with NDF digestibility comparable among fodders within animal species.  With the exception of DM, intakes and digestibilities of nutrients were higher (P<0.05) in goats than in sheep.
