Popis: The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the herbage production and energy value of Suket putihan grass (Bothriochloa pertusa) harvested at different ages. The experiment was carried out following a completely randomize design with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments consisted of different defoliation ages of Suket putihan grass (Bothriochloa pertusa), i.e. respectively at 40 days (BP40), 60 days (BP60), 80 days (BP80). The observed variables included the dry matter (DM) production, stem leaf ratio, In vitro digestibillity and energy value. Result showed that the defoliaton age had a significant effect (P
