This study was carried out to determine the chemical composition and ruminal degradability of
sunflower meal. Samples were collected from commercial sources in Iran. Chemical composition for Dry
Matter (DM), Crude Protein (CP) and Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) of pooled samples were 95.88, 30 and
45.08%, respectively. Degradation procedure was performed using nylon bags filled with 5 g of sunflower meal
and suspended in the rumen of three fistulated Gezel rams for 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 48 h and obtained data were
fitted to a non-linear degradation model to calculate ruminal degradation characteristics. Results showed that
soluble fraction (a), potentially degradable fraction (b), rate degradability (c) and Potential degradability (a +
b) of sunflower meal for Organic Matter degradability were 25.081, 52.546, 0.0987 and 77.627% and for
effective degradability (Out flow rate 0.02, 0.05 and 0.08/h) were 68.766, 59.933 and 45.10%, respectively.
Key words: Dry matter, neutral detergent fiber, nutritive value, nylon bags technique, sunflower meal, organic matter digestibility,
