Abstract
A study was carried out on fermentable properties, voluntary intake and digestibility of Pennisetum King Grass silage fed to djallonke sheep. The silage had a pH of 3.8 and the main fermentation end products was 2.8% of total-N for the ammonia nitrogen (N-NH3), 19.6 g/Kg DM of acetic acid and 22.0 g/Kg DM of ethanol. Dried matter intake was 60.42gDM/Kg0.75 per day and digestibility showed no significant differences for dried matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude fiber (CF) and ether extract (EE). Digestibility was significantly lower (P
