This study was conducted to evaluate the Bambara groundnutas an animal feed in term of chemical composition, gas productionparameters and their relationship.Samples, collected from Kordufan State, and then fractionatedinto pods, seeds and hull.Crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), Ash and Fat wasdetermined, in addition in vitro gas production was carryout, organicmatter digestibility (OMD %) and metabolic energy (ME MJ/kg) wascalculated. CP was 24.98%, 5.56% and 15.30%, CF was 12.94%,43.43% and 25.19%, Fat was 1.6%, 4.3% and 3.5% and Ash was3.6%, 5.3% and 3.8% respectively for pods, seeds, and hull.Organic matter digestibility were significantly (P<0.05) higher(62.71) in seeds than in hull and pods (38.79, 55.92) respectively.The metabolic energy were significantly (P<0.05) higher(10.78) in seed than in pods.Gas production from the quickly degradable fraction (a) washigher in hull than in seeds and pods respectively.The slowly degradable fraction (b) was highest in seeds (60.32), andIXlowest in hull (23.41).Potential gas production in Bambara groundnut wassignificantly (P<0.05) higher in seeds (54.56), than in hull (21.78)Gas production rate (c) was significantly (P<0.05), high in pods(9.20), and lowest in seeds (6.23).Crude protein was positively and significant (P<0.001),correlated with soluble fraction (a), the degradable fraction (b) andpotential gas production (a+b) and negatively with the rate offermentation fraction (c).
