Abstract

Chemical composition of six forage crops, Buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris), Signal (Brachiaria brizantha), Sjgnal (Brachiaria decumbens), Guinea (Panicum maximum), Green panic (Panicum maximum var. trichoglume), and Bahia (Paspalum notatum) planted on mine tailings at Takuapa, Phang Nga province were analyzed. The results indicated that higher animal nutrition expressed in percent ovendry weight was gained from P.notatum, P,maximum var.trichoqlume, and C.ciliaris compared to B.brizantha, B.decumbens, and P.maximum. Based on nutritional values per hectare of land area, however, B.brizantha, P.maximum and B.decumbens were recommended to be planted due to thier maximum biomass production in combination with acceptable amounts of chemical composition.
