This research aimed to determine the effect of different types of manure on dry matter content, organic matter and crude protein of elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum ) cv. Taiwan on the first harvest. This study used a completely randomized design, with 4 treatments and 4 replications for each treatment. The treatment were P1 = 100% acid soil (without manure/control), P2 = 80% acid soil + 20% cow manure, P3 = 80% acid soil + 20% goat manure, P4 = 80% acid soil + 20% of poultry manure. The best results on this researched obtained the highest dry matter content of elephant grass was P2 (16.07), organic matter on P2 (86.36), and the highest crude protein was P3 (14.12). It can be concluded that the using of different manure on the elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum ) cv. Taiwan has a highly significant effect (P <0.01) on dry matter content, and has a significant effect (P <0.05) on the content of organic matter and crude protein of elephant grass ( Pennisetum purpureum ) cv. Taiwan at the first harvest.
