AB  - The aim of the present study was to estimate the Microbial N yield (MN), Efficiency of Microbial Protein  Supply  (EMNS),  amounts  of  Purine absorbed (P<SUB>a</SUB>) and Purine Derivatives excretion (PD<SUB>e</SUB>) in gezel sheep fed Hamedani (HAM) and Kareyonge (KAR) hays. Digestible Organic Matter fermented in the Rumen (DOMR) of KAR (0.473 kg d <SUP>1</SUP>) was lower than that of HAM hay (0.713 kg d <SUP>1</SUP>). The MN was higher for HAM (22.8 g d <SUP>1</SUP>) hay, than that of KAR hay (15.1 g d <SUP>1</SUP>); but EMNS was similar (32 g N kg <SUP>1</SUP> DOMR). The P<SUB>a</SUB> and PD<SUB>e</SUB> contents of HAM hay were higher than that of KAR hay (31.6 vs. 20.8 and 28.5 vs. 19.5 mmol d <SUP>1</SUP>, respectively). In conclusion,it seems that, HAM hay can have a higher inclusion than of KAR hay in diets for sheep because of greater MN and PD<SUB>e</SUB>.
