The present study was conducted to estimate the nutritive value of vetiver plants (Vetiveria zizanioides L.) with different levels of concentrates (30, 50 and 70% of DM) compared to clover hay. In vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) and organic matter disappearance (IVOMD) were determined. Vetiver grass was planted at Middle Sinai research station (El-Maghara) and produced 2.14 ton/feddan. The chemical composition showed that Vetiver grass had 10, 24.6 and 3.2 % as crude protein, crude fiber and lipids contents. Metabolizable energy recorded higher values for vetiver grass compared to clover hay (2.05 vs 1.83 Mcal/kg DM). The IVCPD, and total gas production were significantly increased with increasing the level of concentrates. The results suggested that vetiver grass is a promising feed resource for feeding small ruminants under desert conditions in Sinai. While, in vivo studies are needed to estimate their actual nutritive values and their effects on animal performance.
