50 per cent restriction of normal water intake in Marwari and Russian Merinox Marwari sheep over a period of 21 days have no effect on DM intake per unit body weight and in the coefficients of digestibility of DM, DP, EE and NFE in comparison to ad libitum wa'ering treatment The coefficient of digestibility of CF was however, found to be significantly (P < 0.01) increased in the water restricted pure bred and cross-bred animals. There was no treatment effect on the nitrogen balance of the animals belonging to either of the breeds.
