was found to have a low crude protein content and
high fibre content. Energy concentration of the concentrates
was fairly similar and ranged from 10 to 12
ME MJ/kg DM. The amount of soluble phenolics in
the concentrates increased with increasing level of
pods and was found to be highest with the 2 kg DM
level of inclusion. Soaking ground pods in water for a
period of 24 h before being incorporated in the
concentrate mixture had no significant effect on the
concentration of soluble phenolics. Soaking reduced
