Publisher URL: https://www.publish.csiro.au/AN/pdf/ANv62n11abs AbstractLow quality tropical forages are one of the main constraints for ruminant feeding in Sri Lanka leading to low animal productivity. As a solution to this, two hybrid Napier cultivars; CO-5 and Sampoorna were recently introduced and have been described as superior yielding to previous cultivars of CO-3 (Pennisetum perpureum × P. typhodium) and CO-4 (Pennisetum glaucum × P. purpureum). The objective of this study were to evaluate the yield and nutrient composition of the CO-5 and Sampoorna Napier cultivars grown under rain fed conditions during the Yala season (May to September).
