Sixteen HF x Deoni crossbred heifers of similar age (9±1 months) and body weight (130±5 kg) were randomly distributed in two equal groups. All the heifers were offered ad libitum green paragrass and maize straw. Concentrate was offered to meet the requirement. First group was control and the second group was supplemented with ad libitum rain tree pods. The pods contained 15.3% crude protein, 69.9% nitrogen free extract,.10.0% total sugars, 10.1 % crude fibre, 4.5% lignin, 0.20% silica, 0.84% calcium,O.77% phosphorus, 140 mg/kg iron, 9.8 mg/kg copper and 2.95% tannin. The intake of dry matter, digestible crude protein and digestibility of nitrogen free extract were significantly (P<0.05) higher in pods supplemented group over control. The intake of total digestible nutrients and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract and crude fibre did not vary significantly between groups. The digestible crude protein, total detestable nutrients, digestible energy, metabolizable energy of rain tree pods were 7.88 and 58.67%, 2587 and 2090 K Cal/kg, respectively and nutritive ratio was 6.45. Therefore, the rain tree pods can very well be incorporated in the ration of ruminants to reduce the feeding cost significantly.
