The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of season on the chemical composition of Aspilia Africana leaf over a 12-month period. Biomass yield, proximate and mineral compositions were analyzed. Data collected were subjected to ANOVA in a completely randomized design using SAS software package. Post hoc analysis was conducted at 5% significance using the Duncan multiple range test. Five seasons (late dry, early rainy, peak rainy, late rainy and early dry) and three stages of plant maturity (growing, blooming and aging) were identified. Results showed no effect (p>0.05) of season on the proximate composition (except for moisture and crude ash) and fibre fractions of Aspilia Africana leaf but mineral concentrations were influenced (p Aspilia Africana leaf during the 12-month study. Therefore, Aspilia Africana plant could be a valuable feed resource for all year fodder production.
