In this experiment, 12 six months old lambs and average weight 30±1.5 kg were fed with 0 (control), 3 and 6 percent <em>Scrophularia</em> <em>striata</em> for one month. Feed intake, digestibility, rumination activity, blood metabolites and protozoa were measured. The results showed that the use of <em>Scrophularia</em> <em>striata</em> had no effect on dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) intake, body weight and feed efficiency (P>0.05). Highest digestibility of DM, OM and the protein was for 3% <em>Scrophularia</em> <em>striata</em> (P This experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of phenolic components of <em>Scrophularia striata</em> powder on feed intake, digestion and fermentation, rumination kinetic and rumen ecosystem in Lori-Bakhtiari sheep.
