Abstract
Grass samples of Bothrichloa pertusa, Cenchrus ciliar is Chrysopogon spp., Dicanthium annulatum, Hybrid bajra, Panicum spp; Pennisetum orientale, Sorghum almum and Themeda anthera, experimentally grown in Range Management Farm at Jamrud, were collected and analysed for fibers, carbohydrate, fat and protein content. The nutritive ratios of all the grasses were also determined. The results obtained were compared with those of common grasses of Cholistan, Kalachitta area and Thai already supporting large herds of cattle. They compared favourably well to justify their propagation as a cattle feed on pilot scale.
