摘要：This study aimed to identify the potential of shrub legumes as protein feed in West Timor. Eight shrub legumes, i. e., Clitoria ternatea Q5455 (CT Q5455), Clitoria ternatea millgara (CT millgara), Centrosema pascuorum bundey (CP bundey), Centrosema pascuorum molle (CP molle), Macroptilium bracteatum juanita (MB Juanita), Macroptilium bracteatum cadaarga (MB cadaarga), Dolichos lablab (DL) and Stylossanthes seabrana (SS) were evaluated for their yield and nutritive value in Randomized Block Design. Each legume was cultivated in four plots of different soil fertility as block (5 × 5 m2 per plot). Phosphorus (P) fertilizer was applied once just before planting at level of 50 kg ha-1. Watering was done three times per week using sprinkler. The legumes were harvested at 120 days after planting (dap) in three sub-plots of 1 × 1 m2 size for their yield measurement. Samples of each legume was taken for Dry Matter (DM), Organic Matter (OM), Crude Protein (CP), cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin content and in vitro DM, OM and CP digestibility test. Data were statistically analyzed using Genstat release 12.2. The results showed that the legumes showed significantly different (P 0.05) of DM digestibility of the eight legumes, except for DL which showed significantly highest (P < 0.01) DM and OM digestibility compared to the other.
