The main objective of the present study was to investigate a strategy to bioconverte spineless cactus  Opuntia Ficus-Indica  ( O. ficus indica ) Cladodes,  Medicago sativa  L. ( M. sativa ) and barley straw ( H. vulgare ) based on their chemical composition,  in vitro  digestibility and fermentation parameters. The CP ranged from 51.41 to 156.09 g/kg DM, which was especially high within  M. sativa  and low in  H. vulgare .  O. ficus indica  had the highest values in free condensed tannins. The most digestible plant sample was that from  M. sativa  and  O.ficus indica . The maximum in vitro gas production was recorded with  M. sativa  and  H. vulgare . The same trend was observed with the total gas production (144 h). Based on the results, it can be concluded that  O. ficus indica  could replace common plant species, especially in the arid and semi-arid areas in which the livestock production section frequently suffers low efficiency and big losses.
