RESUMEN

The provision ad libitum of the browse plant Merremia tridentata as a free-choice supplement to the grass Panicum maximum led to a significant increase in the total food intake of groups of five West African Dwarf sheep, although the increase in weight gain was not significant. The protein content of M. tridentata was higher than that of the grass and its tannin content was not sufficient to render it unpalatable.
