Methionine was the first limiting amino acid, followed by leucine in raw mature seeds of 9 forage legumes analysed. High methionine content ( 2%) was observed in Aeschynomene Acc. IPB (3.1%), Kudzu Acc. BP (4.5%) and Phaseolus lathyroides Acc. IPB (2.8%). Very high lysine ( 10%) was also observed in 6 samples. Relative nutritive value (RNV) of raw mature seeds ranged from 15% (Centrosema) and 77% (Crotalaria NB-PC-1). Cooking the seeds by boiling or roasting increased RNV from 72 to 95%. In vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of the raw mature seeds ranged from 73 to 80%.
