Abstract
Browses plant  leaves and stems from Suaeda vera and Artemisia monosperma hays were evaluated for nutritive potential (chemical composition and digestibility characteristics by sheep and goats).Berseem hay was used for comparison and barley grains were offered to cover 50% of maintenance requirements for sheep and goats , while the tested hay were offered ad.lib. The results showed that values of CP for shrub species tested were 9.58% and 9.7% for S.vera and A.monosperma   , respectively, while CF and ADL were 28.5%, 15.9% and 6.7%, 10.4%, respectively.
The average daily DM intake by both sheep and goats from tested plants only were 18.99 and 20.73 g/kgw0.75, respectively, while the means were 35.07 and 36.05g/kgw0.75 for ration, respectively.
 Nutrients digestibility coefficients of range plants rations were better than Berseem hay. Also, the nutritive values of range plants rations recorded highest values than Berseem hay, while the CP digestibility of both S.vera and A.monosperma were comparable to that of Berseem hay. All rations by sheep and goats recorded positive N. balance, but the highest value was recorded with S.vera ration, while the lowest value with Berseem hay.
It was concluded that S.vera and A.monosperma hay after supplemented with barley grains can be used in feeding both sheep and goats.
