Abstract

The experiment was implemented in order to assess the growth, performance and palatability of two grasses VA06 (Varisme 06) and Ghine TD58 (Panacum maximum TD 58) grown as feed for beef cattle in Ea Kar District, Dak Lak Province. The results showed that VA06 and Ghine TD58 well developed in Ea Ka district. VA06 potentially strong sprout buds were 24.45/dust, while the TD Guinea grass shoots were 10 buds/dust. VA06 grass height at 60 days of age reached 190 cm and, trunk diameter of 2.35 cm. While Ghine TD58 reached 0.96 cm at 60 days. The fresh yield of VA06 and Ghine TD58 was 515.2 and 360 tons /ha/year, and dry matter yield was 83.57 and 73.94 tons/ha year; and the crude protein yield was from 8.19 to 8.74 tons/ha/year, respectively. Beef cattle loves eating both two these grass varieties, edible ratio was high (from 96 to-100%) when grass was cut from 30 to 40 days.
