Various reports have been published in the yield, chemical composition, and digestibility of grasses grown either singly or as grasslegume mixtures. the many factors that Influence these forage attributes particularly in livestock nutrition have similarly been widely studied (Elliot and Fokkema, 1960; Corbett, Langlands and Reid, 1963; Oyenuga and Olubajo, 1966).
