Popis: Twenty-five bread wheat varieties, developed for and released in the Ethiopian highlands, were investigated for grain (GY) and straw (SY) yields and straw fodder quality traits across two locations (Debre Zeit and Kulumsa) during 2016. Five varieties were selected for further investigation in 2017 at four locations representing a broader range of agroecologies. Straw fodder quality traits investigated were nitrogen (N), neutral detergent (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), and metabolizable energy (ME). In 2016, significant varietal differences (P
