Twelve Surti buffalo heifers (571.42±33.65 days age and 156.75±18.60 kg body weight), divided in three groups of 4 each were fed control diet (T1), supplementation of molasses @ 8; of ration (T2)and supplementation with 1; urea and 8; molasses(T3). DM digestibility in groups T1, T2, and T 3 was 60.20, 65.85 and 66.57 percent, respectively, and variation among groups was significant. Moreover, Digestibility of OM and CF were higher in group T3 but variation among groups was not significant. The NFE digestibility was improved with molasses supplementation. The total DMI (kg/d) was higher in groups T2, and T3 than in control group. The mean total straw intake (kg/d) was significantly higher (p0.01) in group T3 than in other groups.
