The nutritive value for ruminants of postharvest bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) stem, leaf and empty pod byproducts were studied in adult male goats. In vitro, potential and effective rumen degradability of organic matter were, respectively, 55.4, 57.0 and 30.6% for stems, 81.5, 79.6 and 64.6% for leaves, and 67.2, 86.2 and 49.8% for pods. The energy content of the byproducts was estimated to be 9.2 for stems, 8.5 for leaves and >9.9 MJ ME/kg DM for pods. Byproducts contained 55 g degradable and 28 g undegradable protein/kg DM stems, 142 and 60 g/kg DM leaves and 29 and 13 g/kg DM pods.
