The effects of dietary condensed tannins (CT) on growth and performance of young male weaned lambs were measured during a 4-month grazing trial when either birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) cv. Grasslands Goldie or sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) cv. Grasslands Aokau were fed. Each legume was offered at restricted and an libitum allowances and the effects of CT were determined by giving half the lambs in each treatment a twice-daily drench of polyethylene glycol (PEG; mol wt 3350) to deactivate the CT. Both agronomic and animal performance characteristics were recorded. Sulla had higher (P < 0.01) pre-grazing herbage masses than birdsfoot trefoil (11.6 cf. 7.1 t DM ha(-1)) and sulla stem (
