ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A series of experiments was conducted to determine the nutritional status of reproducing ewes utilizing tropical and legume pastures, as well as different crop residues. The type of supplementary feed required by sheep utilizing there pastures was also determined. Although oesophageally fistulated (OF) wethers selected samples of relatively good qualilty [mean values of 18.3% crude protein (CP) and 62.3% in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) from irrigated kikuyu pasture, intake studies suggested inadequate ingestion CP and digestible organic matter (DOM) by ewes during lactation. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Reeks eksperimente is uitgevoer ten einde die voedingstatus van reproduserende ooie wat tropiese en peulplantweidings, asook graanoesreste bewei het, te bepaal. Die tipe byvoeding wat deur skape op diesulke weiding benodig word, is ook in sekere gevalle bepaal. Alhoewel plantmonsters, soos geselekteer deur oesofageal gefistuleerde (OF) hamels, daarop dui dat besproeide kikoejoeweiding van relatief goeie kwaliteit is [gemiddeld 18.3% ruproteien (TRP) en 62.3% in vitro verteerbare organiese materiaal (IVVOM)], dui innamestudies daarop dat die voedingstofinname van lakterende ooie vanaf hierdie weidings onvoldoende is.
