Elephant grass is a very important forage in the tropics
due to its high productivity. It is particularly suited to feed
cattle and buffaloes.
Elephant grass is mainly used in cut-and-carry systems ("zero
grazing") and fed in stalls, or made into silage or hay. Elephant
grass can be grazed, provided it can be kept at the lush vegetative
stage: livestock tend to feed only the younger leaves.
