The composition of grass samples at the early flowering stage from 5 regions of India is tabulated; the range in protein content, 3.7-16.0% of DM, was possibly due to differences in manuring. Trials with 8 adult rams showed that Para-grass hay was as palatable as the grass when green. From Nutr. Abstr.
