Abstract: According to the growth pattern and used ways, collecting introduced and native grasses of rainy season to making mixed grass particles and evaluating tropical grass forages utilization in Yunnan dry-hot valley. The results showed that: the mixed grass particles, mixed Gramineae and Leguminosae forages in ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 with 35%-45% concentrated food into mixed, can not only improve the forage utilization rate, increase the palatability of the animal, but also supply needed of herbivores feed efficiently in dry winter season of Yunnan dry-hot valley. With its good advantages of digestibility, production and storage easy ability, mixed grass particle will be a mainstream type of complete feed in animal production industry.
