Food legumes crop residues are a valuable forage resource in low rainfall areas with a high integration of crops to livestock. Since 1987, eighteen varieties of chickpea are recorded based on their grain yield, tolerance to drought and diseases in the Moroccan official catalog. However, till now there is a lack of studies targeting the food legume crop residues yield and quality. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the yield and the chemical composition of eight Morrocan chickpea genotype residues. Four varieties (Farihane, Arifi, Zahour, Douyet) and four advanced genotypes (Flip85-1C, Flip97-190C, Flip97/114C, Flip97-677C) were arranged in randomized complete block design with four replications in 2016 at Jmaat Shaim experimental station. The harvested residues were dissected into stem segments and leaves. The Flip97-677C showed the highest crop residue yield 3.63 t/ha. The leaves proportion ranged from 44% for Flip85-1C to 49% for Flip97-190C. The crude protein (CP) content ranged from 63 to 89 g/kg DM, with Flip97-677C showing the highest CP. Neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and acid detergent lignin contents ranged from 568 to 661, 378 to 435 and 99 to 108 g/kg DM respectively. The average value of ash was 885 g/kg DM. The leaves had higher protein and ash contents and lower levels in different fiber parameters than stems for all genotypes.
