Chemical composition of Panicum maximum planted with different manure sources

摘要：

Factors such as species, season, spacing and fertilization among others have been identified as major factors affecting the nutrient content of forage grasses (AkenOva and Chedda,1985).It is believed that careful manipulation of some of these factors could improve the nutritive quality of the grasses.Guinea grass ( Panicum maximum) is a major feed resource for the Nomadic Fulani cattle during their migration in search of green feed to the southern part of Nigeria during the dry season.Adegbola ( et al., 1980) reported that ruminant animals showed good acceptance, high intake and good digestion of the grass.
