| Abstract | The study aimed to investigate the effects of variety and cutting ages of Guinea grass on yield and chemical compositions for use as a roughage source for ruminants. The study was arranged using a 3x3 factorial within a completed randomized design, and 2 factors were; the first factor, types of Guinea grass (Purple guinea, Mombasa guinea, and mun river guinea). The second factor; is the different ages of cutting (30, 45, and 60 days). The grass was planted in the closed-bottom cement cycle pond. The grass was first cut on day 60 later the tiller height, tiller number, yield and sampling for chemical composition were recorded and done according to the study design. The results showed that Mombasa guinea had the highest number in tiller height, tiller number and yield in both fresh and dry when cut at day 60 (P<0.01). Cutting Mombasa guinea at day 60 gives the highest yield in both fresh and dry (P<0.01). For chemical composition, Mombasa guinea cut at day 30 gives the best values on chemical compositions (P<0.01). Cutting Mombasa guinea at day 30 gives the best values on chemical compositions (P<0.01). |
