The results of digestibility trials are presented on Andropogon gayanus, Brachiaria brizantha, Chloris gayana (Rhodes grass), Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass), Hyparrhenia rufa (Janagua grass), Panicum maximum (Guinea grass), Pennisetum pedicellatum, P. purpureum (Elephant grass), unimproved bush grass, Centrasema pubescens (Centro), Desmodium scorpuris and Stylosanthes gracilis (Stylo). The nutritive values are discussed, together with agronomic aspects important in relation to the growth of these species in Northern Nigeria.
