N2  - Three experiments were carried out to study the effect of chemical treatment on the nutritive value of wheat straw (WS) and the effect of diets containing such treated straw and poultry litter (PL) on the performance of fattening cattle and lactating beef cows. The chemical treatment consisted of treating half of the wheat straw with 60 kg sodium hydroxide/t and the other with 60 kg sulphuric acid/t, and then mixing the two to give "Celephos". The digestibility coefficient of organic matter was 68.0 and 41.7 for "Celephos" and untreated straw, respectively. For a long term feeding trial, two mixtures were formulated (a) including 23 per
