In order to circumvent the pasture scarcity during drought, silage making is paramount. In this vein, nutritive value of silage made from Guinea grass (GG) frequently harvested at 4 and 12 week regrowth was assessed by West African dwarf (WAD) sheep. Four weeks GG (4WGG) and 12 weeks GG (12WGG) were mixed to make treatments: 12 week GG (12WGG), 4 week GG (4WGG), 25% 4WGG + 75% 12WGG, ...
