Two complete feeds containing untreated (CR1) and urea treated (CR2) wheat straw each at 60% level were evaluated for their nutritive value in Mutton Synthetic x Deccani Sheep. The DM intake was 0.841 and 0.763 kg for CR1 and CR2, respectively. The nutrient digestibility except for crude fibre was similar in both the groups. The per cent DCP and TDN content of CR1 and CR2 diets were 5.35 and 56.10 and 6.93 and 54.49, respectively. Both the rations could maintain the sheep with an average gain in body weight of 60-70 g/d. The feed efficiency and cost of feeding was superior on CR2 diet.
