Description Five varieties of faba bean (four improved released varieties and one local variety) were investigated for varietal variation in straw yield, nutritive value of straw morphological fractions and grain yield. Samples of the whole plant biomass were collected and separated into grain and straw. The straw was further divided into leaves, stems and pods. Straw samples were analyzed for their chemical composition (CP, NDF, ADF, ADL, TIVOMD) and ME. The PUI was employed to rank the varieties. The results demonstrated significant varietal variation in grain yield, straw yield and in the proportions of botanical fractions of straw, grain yield and straw yield. The improved varieties were superior to the local variety in grain yield, straw yield and PUI. The local variety had the highest proportion of stem and the lowest proportion of leaf and pods. Significant varietal differences (P
