%X Seeds of the annual species of Medicago were shown to be a valuable supplement for Merino sheep fed on a basal diet of low-protein cereal straw.The number of survivors, the change in body weight, and the quantity of roughage eaten by sheep given a supplement of Medicago seed, were similar to the results obtained with sheep given an equal quantity of linseed meal.
