Popis: The nutritive quality of Pennisetum purpureum hybrid grass silage as influenced by manure types and age at harvest were evaluated by their fermentative characteristics and in vitro gas production. The study was a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design which comprised four manure types (cattle, poultry, swine, goat) and no manure (control) and two harvesting times (4 and 8 weeks after cutback (WAC)) with three replicates. Results showed that the mean pH (4.70) of silage made from grass fertilized with cattle manure was significantly (p
