    abstract = {Tequila industry bagasse is an alternative feedstuff that need to be assessed as part of the lamb diet. Nine Pelibuey lambs were used in a 3x3 factorial trial to assess the inclusion of agave bagasse in the diet, untreated or 4% NaOH treated on nutrient intake and <I>in vivo</I> digestion, as well as performance and water intake. The inclusion of 25% of agave bagasse affected positively the intake of dry matter, organic matter and gross energy (p&lt;0.05) and their apparent digestibility (p&lt;0.05). However, neither the water intake or daily gain of weight were statistically affected by treatments (p&gt;0.05). Hence, the agave bagasse can be used as an alternative feedstuffs for Pelibuey lambs.}
