The experiment was conducted to evaluat e the nutritional value of ground peanut straw, king grass and corn forage and their ability to provid e nutrients for livestock in terms of rumen fermentation. Three rumen -fistulated PO cattles were used to investigate rumen fermentation parameter (pH, NH 3, VFA). The cattle s were fed ground peanut straw (PS), king grass (KG) and corn forage (CF) ad libitum as single f eed. The values of rumen fermentation parameters were analy zed using Analysis of Variance of Completely Randomized Design. The result showed that rumen pH, and of cattle fed with PS, KG and CF were 6.94, 6.68 and 6.71 , NH 3 concentrations 13.71, 6.85 and 4.37mg/100ml , and total VFA concentrations 48.99, 70.17 and 51.59 mmol/l, respectively. Values of pH and NH 3 concentration were significantly different (p<0.05) among treatments, meanwhile VFA concentration were not significantly different. Ground peanut straw resulted the highest rumen fermentation parameters. Keywords : Peranakan Onggole cattle, fibrous feed, nutritive value, rumen fermentation
